Lady
Tigers Bounce Back, Notch 1st Win
of Season - November
18, 2009
Submitted by Judy Owens
Tenaha trounces Alto for the 2nd
time in a week.
In a considerably less intense atmosphere
at Alto High School on Tuesday night
than at Bullard last Thursday, Coach
Laura Walker-Holmes’ Tenaha
Lady Tiger basketball team evened
its season record at 1-1 by defeating
Alto 67-21. The Lady Tigers apparently
got a halftime wake up call as they
would only hold a 22-18 lead at the
break. What a wake-up call it was
as the Lady Tiger defense would stifle
Alto to just 3 third quarter points
and 0 points in the game’s last
stanza, while the Lady Tigers would
tally 45 of their own points to get
the initial win of the season.
Leading the scoring for the Lady
Tigers were junior Okevia Bratchett,
who scored 22 points, senior Amber
I. Evans with 16 points (14 in the
second half), and junior Jasmine Ivy
with 12 points. Others who scored
for Tenaha included Whitney Jackson,
sophomore, had 8 points, Taylor Killey
notched 4 points, Tia Thomas scored
3 points, and T Williams finished
with 2 points.
The Lady Tigers return to action
this Saturday as they travel to play
perennial State Tournament contender
Martins Mill. Next week, the Lady
Tigers will double up on Monday and
Tuesday by traveling to Chireno on
Monday and debuting their home season
on Tuesday at 3:00 PM against Shelby
County rival Center. |

Center
ISD Tennis 'On a Roll' - October
28, 2009
Submitted by Coach Leon Dykes
Center is on a roll winning their
last four team matches. The highlight
has been some dominating performances
by the Lady Riders who have won 35
of their last 42 matches.
The first four matches of the year
were tough matches and we had some
tough losses, but once we go our first
win under us as a team, I feel we
are playing a lot more relaxed and
confident.
The Center Varsity traveled to Jacksonville
on Tuesday, October 27th and defeated
them with an official score of Center
13 - Jacksonville 6.
The Center JV traveled to Lufkin on

JH vs Beckville JH, JH Rams Undefeated
- October 9, 2009
Submitted by Ronnie Belrose
The 7th grade won their scrimmage
4-0. The A team put a thumping on
Beckville by a score of 26-0. Armondo
Robles’ continued his stellar
running performances with three rushing
TD’s and also had one TD catch
to provide all the offense the Rams
would need. The offensive line continued
to do a good job clearing the way
as they have in the past five weeks.
Defensively, the Rams collectively
held a couple of pretty good Bearkat
running backs to minimal yards on
the night. The JH Rams are 5-0 and
are hopefully on their way to an undefeated
district championship. Way to go Rams!! |

McClure Finds a Place as Kick Return
Specialist - October
8, 2009
Composed by J.J. Ford / Judy
Owens
According
to an article posted in the El Paso
Times, Marlon McClure went from
being in the dog house, having been
suspended from the UTEP football
team a month ago, to being praised
by coach Mike Price as a really
special athlete.
It’s all in
the return game! UTEP came into
the game 102nd in the nation in
kick returns at 19.1 yards per game;
McClure returned five kicks against
Houston for a 27.2-yard average.
To read the full article about McClure,
click
here.
If you are interested
in watching Marlon play (and possibly
Camaron Choice), the UTEP Miners
vs Tulsa Hurricane game on Wednesday,
October 21, will be broadcast "live"
on ESPN. Camaron is on the roster
and UTEP is down to two scholarship
running backs due to season-ending
injuries. Just think, Tenaha might
have two of their own on national
TV on the 21st of this month.

MMA
Fighter Shad Jenkins Wins by a Tap
Out - October 7, 2009
Submitted by Richard Roddy
Self
Defense America is proud to announce
that Shad Jenkins of San Augustine
Tx went to Thibodaux La. on October
3rd and fought Trevin Pertuit. Shad
made quick work of his opponent, winning
the fight at the two minute mark of
the first round.
Trevin was a very tough competitor,
but he had no answer for Shads' striking
or his brutal ground and pound. When
the bell rang Shad immediately came
out and set the line, delivering a
1, 2 combination before his opponent
ever got his feet set. Trevin instantly
tried to shoot in for a take down.
Shad stuffed the take down and delivered
a very nice uppercut and a right hook.
Trevin again tried to take Shad down
and this time Shad ended up taking
him down, after which Shad was ruthless
with his ground and pound.
Smothering Trevin with a barrage
of punches until he was forced to
tap. Shad is now 2-2 as an MMA fighter
and is looking forward to a title
shot very soon.
Shad is a 6"0 185 lb striker
with heavy hands. He is very good
with his ground and pound game and
his Jujitsu skills are improving.
He looks to be makin some noise in
the cage for awhile. Shad trains with
Team Dog Pound out of Center, Texas
and has become a valuable member of
Self Defense America. |
