Lady Tigers

On Jan. 12, the
Daingerfield Lady Tigers
traveled to Chapel Hill,
where they took on the
Lady Red Devils. Both the
junior varsity and varsity
squads fell to the Lady
Devils.
The junior varsity took
the floor, and could muster
very little offense against
the Devils before the final
buzzer signaled the end.
The final score was 9 to 44
in favor of Chapel Hill.
Monorra Sok scored three
points for the Tigers, and
also added three rebounds,
two steals, and an assist.
Jasmine Tatum scored six
points for the Tigers, and
added three steals, two
rebounds. Brianna Abron
grabbed ten rebounds for
the Lady Tigers, who
dropped to 0-2 in district
16AAA play.
Although the varsity
squad was able to put up
more points, they could not
hold a dominate Red Devil
team down, and fell, 23-102.

The Daingerfield Junior High Lady Tiger basketball teams traveled across town on Thursday, Jan. 14, to visit the Lady Colts in Hughes Springs. The games kicked off the second round of district play for both teams. In the seventh grade girls’ game, the Lady Tigers played with a lead all night, before winning the game, 22 to 14. Joi Akinsuroju and Takya Alexander paced the Lady Tigers with 11 points each. Breanna Durham and Tyler Hayden led the team in assists, while Melony Godbolt, Riley Scholl, Natalie Beasley, and Kyasia Williams all played smart defensively for the Tigers. The eighth grade game was more of a back and forth affair, with the Lady Tigers falling behind at the end of the first quarter by three points. By the end of the first half, the Lady Tigers had tied the Lady Colts, 12 to 12. And falling behind by four at the end of the third quarter, the Lady Tigers finished off the game on top, 25 to 21.
