During Homecoming, we are proud to celebrate two outstanding Tigers whose impact reaches far beyond the field and classroom.
This year, we welcome Steve Peterson (Class of 1970) as our Distinguished Alumni inductee. Known to many as “Petey,” Steve has dedicated his life to serving our community—as a coach, official, Parks & Recreation Director, and most importantly, a mentor to generations of youth. His leadership and love for Black River Falls continue to shine through every park, program, and Tiger game he supports.
We also proudly induct Tom Stetzer (Class of 2001) into the Athletic Hall of Fame. From leading the Tigers to the WIAA Division 3 State Championship game, to setting records at UW–Platteville, to playing professionally, Tom’s career has been remarkable. Yet, it’s his humility, leadership, and joy for the game that truly define him.
Please join us in congratulating Steve Peterson and Tom Stetzer—two true examples of #tiGRRpride and Inspiring Excellence!
