       T.R. Miller completed the 2016 season with a 8-3 record. With their 6-1 region record and a second place finish in Class 3A region one, the Tigers earned a spot in the playoffs in 2016. T.R. Miller's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to Wicksburg by a score of 34-28.

       As one of the best football programs in the state since 2010, T.R. Miller has gone a combined 67-18. Their 79.0% winning percentage ranks 3rd in Class 3A over the past seven seasons.

       The Tigers are led by head coach Andrew Thomas who is entering his second season at the helm. His team finished with a 8-3 record in his first season at T.R. Miller. Under his direction the Tigers have qualified for the playoffs once. They have not won a region crown with Coach Thomas.
