Tigers Take Home A Win

The Tigers beat Red Oak 38-21 on Homecoming night.  On a soggy night in Corsicana the Tigers finished off the regular season with a victory which gives them a 9-1 mark going into next week's playoff rematch with Waxahachie.

Red Oak got the ball first but didn't have it long as they fumbled on their first play from scrimmage and the Tigers recovered.  A Clarence Robinson touchdown put the Tigers on top early.  Robinson was dominant on Friday night as he would score again shortly thereafter to put the Tigers on top 14-0.  After a Tiger stop, Jon Bauer returned a punt for a touchdown to put the Tigers on top 21-0.  On the ensuing drive though the Hawks got a long pass play that set up their first touchdown of the night to make it 21-7, but Robinson had the answer as he would score his third touchdown of the night to go up 28-7.  Jonte Manning would get an interception on the Hawks next possession but the Tigers weren't able to capitalize.  On the Hawks next drive after a Tiger punt, Tomarrio Cleveland would intercept a pass and the Tigers would get a Matt Pratt field goal to go up 31-7 at the half.

In the second half it took the Tigers 3 plays to score as Robinson would have a huge run that set up a 16 yard Daniel Orr keeper for the Tigers final score to make the game 38-7 at that point.  Red Oak would add two touchdowns to make the score respectable at the end.

The Tiger offense and defense were firing on almost all cylinders in the first half.  A downpour at halftime along with the homecoming festivities seemed to calm down the Tiger intensity in the second half but all in all it was a good preparation game for next week's playoff tilt with the Indians.
