Tigers Win In Monsoon
The Tigers defeated Brownwood
38-21 on Saturday night in a game that was played through a downpour for
much of the contest. The Tiger offense exploded in the first half with
28 points and added 10 more in the second half. The Tiger defense
smothered Brownwood in the first half and with 5 interceptions sealed the
deal in the second.
The Tigers would jump out to an early
lead on their first possession when QB Eric Gordon hit Kendall Gooden for a
53 yard touchdown pass. Gordon would add an 8 yard TD pass to Rian
Stubbs in the first quarter to put the Tigers up by 14. Brownwood's
great RB Jamall Organ would get Brownwood's scoring started with a 6 yard
run. The Tiger offense would keep it coming turning to their ground
game in the heavy rain as in the second quarter Jay Finley and Ray Sims
would both add touchdown runs to put the Tigers on top 28-6 going into the
half.
Sims would open the second half with an
interception and Finley would take one play to go 32 yards for his second
score of the night to put the Tigers on top 35-6. Brownwood showed
their resiliency by scoring 15 unanswered points in the third quarter behind
the strong running of Organ to make it a 35-21 game going into the fourth
quarter.
In the fourth, the Tiger D and a fourth
down conversion by Rian Stubbs which led to a Kris Perez field goal sealed
the deal. The Tigers would get a total of 5 interceptions in the
second half to keep the Lions from getting too close. Dallas Lincoln
beat Sulphur Springs 36-10 and is next for the Tigers at 1pm Friday at Texas
Stadium.
