Tiger Sports Round-Up

The weather had a big impact on the Tiger sports schedule. It started Monday, Jan. 8 and hasn’t let up. The changes are as follows:

– The basketball teams were to play WACO at home on January 8. That game was postponed and rescheduled for Monday, January 22.

– The wrestling meet at WACO on January 13 was rescheduled for Saturday, February 3.

– The basketball games against Central Lee scheduled for January 12 have been moved to January 18 in New London.

But our athletes did get a few events in.

The girls lost another tough one against Van Buren County. The Warriors led at half time 35 to 20 and the Tigers couldn’t overcome the deficit in the second half. The final score was 60 to 37. There were no individual stats available.
