Tuesday’s match-up against the Midland High Bulldogs was a nail-biter of a game. The final score was 59-51, with the Tigers taking down the Bulldogs. This brings the Boys Basketball team to a 6-0 record for District play and 23-4 record for the overall season.
“It’s always tough when you face a district opponent for the second time, and that proved to be the case with Midland High on Tuesday at home,” said Coach Page. “Midland played well, so it was good that we had to battle the entire game and pull out the victory late in the game. We look for similar scenarios as we make our way through the second round of district play.”
