Tigers rip Lone Oak, earn matchup with defending champ Gunter

By TONI WALKER

GLADEWATER – The Daingerfield Tigers took on the Lone Oak Buffaloes on Nov. 17 in a UIL, 3A, Division 2 Bi-District matchup at Jack Murphy Stadium in Gladewater. The Tigers came out on top, 41-17, to set up  a matchup with defending 3A Division State Champion Gunter on Nov. 24.

In what has been a recurring theme throughout the season, Coach Mike Waldie’s Tigers won the toss, but kickedoff after deferring to the second half. On the Tigers’ first defensive drive of the game, Daingerfield forced a punt, but then fumbled to give Lone Oak new life at Daingerfield’s 20 yard line. The defense showed its backbone, however, forcing the Buffaloes to kick a field goal from the 16 yard line.
