Lillian
Burrows' Grandson's Team Wins Regional
Silversticks Hockey Tournament - November
4, 2009
Submitted by Thomas Burrows
The hockey team of Ryan Barton, the
grandson of Mrs. Lillian Burrows of
Center, won the regional Silversticks
Tournament over Columbus Day weekend.
The Silversticks International Hockey
Tournament is held every January in
Ontario, Canada. Ryan's team "Dallas
Stars Selects - Squirt A Division"
will have the opportunity to travel
to Ontario, Canada over MLK weekend
next January for the international
tournament that will have both American
and Canadian teams competing together.
This is the second year for Ryan
as the team he was on for the 2008-2009
season traveled to Ontario, Canada
for the International Silversticks
Tournament. Ryan said it was "COLD
up there". While Ryan's team
did not win the overall tournament
they surprised a bunch of Canadians
per how well SOUTHERN boys could skate
and play hockey. Our boys only needed
ice to show everyone how good they
were.
While in Canada Ryan and his family
visited the National Hockey League
Hall of Fame in Tornoto, Ontario.
Everyone got to touch the Stanley
Cup. This year Ryan is one of the
leaders per goals scored, assists,
etc this year on his current team.
Ryan is the ten year old son of Thomas
& Dr. Terri Burrows of Coppell,
TX. He is #3.

Tigers
Roll Over Bearcats....Again - September
28, 2009
Submitted by Judy Owens
For the 6th straight year, the Tenaha
Tigers pounced on the Beckville Bearcats
and recorded a 52-21 win the District
19A opener for both teams. A very
muddy and sloppy surface at Beauchamp
Stadium would see the rivals trade
early touchdown drives; but, two Beckville
fumbles would spark a huge Tiger run
that would see Tenaha open up a 38-13
halftime lead.
Cobi Steadman was the offensive star
again as he would go 13-22 for 199
yards in the 1st half alone. Cobi
finished the game with over 250 yards
passing and accounted for 6 Tiger
TD’s (3 passing and 3 rushing).
Defensively, the Tigers had a bit
of a lackluster effort, but Devonta
Williams clearly led the way for the
Tiger D. On the season, the Tigers
are now 5-0 and 1-0 in District play….
It will certainly get real now for
Coach Terry Ward and the Tenaha Tigers.
They will put a perfect 5-0 record
and 1-0 district record on the line
against Shelby County rivals, the
Joaquin Rams this Friday night in
the PIT.
The Rams are 4-1 and are fresh off
an impressive thumping of pre-district
favorite Mount Enterprise 30-6 last
week. For the Rams, they’ll
try to swing the series back east
as they have lost the last two meetings
in Joaquin by scores of 42-14 and
38-20.
Tiger
Drive to be Shut Down this Friday
for Game
Due to the expected overflow crowd
for this week's game between the Joaquin
Rams and the Tigers, the Tennessee
Road will be shut down from the railroad
tracks to the loop beginning at 5:30
pm. It will re-open at 7:45 pm. Unless
you have a reserved parking pass,
please park downtown for Friday's
game.

Tiger
JV Debuts Successfully, JH Wins Again
Too!! - September
28, 2009
Submitted by Judy Owens
Eleven Tigers suited up to play
the first JV football game in many
years during a rain storm last Thursday
against Beckville, and their debut
was a smashing success. The JV Tigers
led by Assuntay Cleaver and Jose Campos
on offense thrashed the Bearcats 48-0.
All eleven Tigers came up big defensively
in the shutout as Corey Thomas, Richard
Koller, and Ca’Detric Robertson
along with Danny Jurardo, Ruben Tovar,
and Timothy Hafford dominated the
front against the Bearcat O.
The Tiger Junior High moved to 2-1
on the year with a hard fought 12-6
win over Beckville on Thursday. Keontas
Davis’ 64 yard run in the 4th
quarter would prove to be the game
winner as the two JH teams slugged
it out in the mud last Thursday. This
week the JH heads to Joaquin for a
5:30 kickoff

Tigers

12 to 6. - August 28, 2009

After a 90 minute thunderstorm and
a 30 minute delay, Coach Terry Ward's
Tiger Football team took the field
for the first time last night at the
Pit against their annual nemesis the
Maud Cardinals. After a night where
two very good Class teams traded turnovers
and punts, the Tigers would put away
a thrilling 12-6 victory with a touchdown
on a fake field goal with just :05
remaining.

Early on, the Cardinals
seized momentum by capitalizing on
early Tiger nerves and the wet conditions.
Jake McLain, the Maud QB, would score
from 3 yards out to cap a 3-yard drive
that resulted from a pair of errant
snaps for Tenaha. However, the Tiger
defense would settle in and put on
a dominating performance from there
out.
The Tigers stopped Maud on 5 4th down
conversions that included a goal-line
stand in the 1st quarter and an unbelievable
play by Senior Defensive Back Cobi
Steadman on a last minute fake punt
attempt. Steadman's defensive play
would set up the late minute heroics
with the game tied 6-6. Sophomore
Athlete, Reginald Davis would hook
up with Senior wideout Jay Moore on
a 24 yard completion to set the Tigers
up 1st and goal at the Cardinal 8
with just 00:15 left. After and unsuccessful
pass in the end zone, Coach Ward called
on the field goal unit, and on the
fake it would be Moore hooking up
with Davis for the game winner. Davis
also accounted for the initial Tiger
TD by make an unbelievable one-handed
catch of a Steadman 39 yard pass in
the 2nd quarter.

Big time performances
were turned in on defense by a pair
of Sophomore Defensive Ends, LaDarren
Cooks and Jakelvin Cooper. Also, a
tip of the cap to Senior Terrence
Steadman who returned from ACL surgery
last year to come up big defensively.

Fans enjoying game
With the win, the Tigers
look forward to travelling to Hull-Daisetta
next week for a 7:30 tilt with the
Bobcats.
