Submitted by Judy Owens

New School, New Coach, Same results…. Coach Terry Ward, in his 1st season has led the Tiger Football program back to the State Playoffs with a 34-0 win over West Sabine last Friday. On the 8th muddy surface of the season the Tigers sprinted out of the gate to another big lead in the 1st quarter, 22-0. After the officials, took control of things in the 2nd quarter, the Tigers would regroup at halftime to pump in two more TD’s in the 3rd quarter to round out the scoring. The Tiger Defense led the way by holding West Sabine under 100 total yards for the night and starting the game with a score on a fumble. The Tigers move to 9-0 on the year and 5-0 in District 19A play, and with the win, the Tigers have secured a Division II Class A playoff berth for the fourth straight year. This Friday night the Tigers will play Mount Enterprise for the outright District 19A title in a 7:30 game at the PIT. This is the 3rd straight year that the Tigers and Wildcats will tangle with District Championship implications at stake.
