Tigers Travel To Tomato Bowl

On Friday the Tigers will travel to Jacksonville to take on the Indians.  The Indians struggled in their season opener against Stephenville losing 17-7 and only having 127 yards of total offense.  The key to that loss was the third quarter when Jacksonville only ran 3 offensive plays from scrimmage while Stephenville dominated the game by scoring a touchdown and keeping the Indian offense on the field.

The Indians beat the Tigers in Corsicana last year after losing to Stephenville so the Tigers will have their hands full against a team that is always a contender.  Trevalyn Canady and Casey Scruggs will look to jumpstart the Indian offense after misfiring last week. 

The Tigers are coming off a victory over Greenville in their season opener but will be looking to improve in all areas as the district season approaches.  The Tigers gave up 22 points in the final quarter and a half and will need to slam the door on Jacksonville if they get a big lead.  Offensively the Tigers looked sharp behind their veteran offensive line.  Clarence Robinson had a big  night running the ball (167 yards) and Daniel Orr rushed for 47 more.  Through the air both Jon Bauer and Tyjuan Manning made some big catches.  All in all, the Tigers looked sharp in their opener and will need to be just as sharp against a traditionally tough foe.
