This is a page dedicated to the St Ignatius Tailcats- a fellowship of families and fans of the St. Ignatius High School Wildcats!

With beginnings in the 2001 State Championship Playoff run of the St. Ignatius Wildcat football team, a number of parents were led by Mike Eynon who stated that "Tailgating would begin" with a playoff game against Warren Harding. This initial beginning of a weekly "tailgate" followed for the next two weeks as the St. Ignatius Football team played Massillon in the Semi-Final Game and then concluded a Championship season victory over Cincinnati St. Xavier where the first ChampionshipFest with "surf and turf" began.

Fast Forward to 2003 and the Tailgating began weekly as Mike Eynon stated that "we would take Tailgating to the next level". Weekly Themes were created, information through flyers and then later email was distributed by Axel Hoyer, and the weekly "TAILCAT" tailgate became a tradition. At the home field of Byers Field (The Ianni) and all over where the St. Ignatius Wildcats played football.

In 2011 The Tailcats entered their 8th year of existence with an outstanding season of participation!
