Feb. 17, 2011 - After a two-win, two-loss week, the varsity Tigers found themselves in a two-way tie for third place with Rivercrest Monday. That, however, could change as district contender Paris-Chisum was scheduled for a game after press time Tuesday, and - if they win - would make the tie a three-way fight.

Head Coach Jeff Smith said Tuesday that if there happened to be a three-way tie, the three teams would play Friday and Saturday to determine which team would clench the final play-off spot. If Paris-Chisum loses, Rivercrest and Leonard will play Friday for the position.

Feb. 10, 2011 - The varsity Tigers faced the Sam Rayburn Rebels in an away game on Jan. 28, and out-shot the home team to clench the win. The Rebels trailed by a few points the entire game and weren’t ever able to gain the momentum needed to get a run going and take the lead. The win was a full-team effort with every member of the Tigers contributing points.
