The Tiger took their last lead of the

scheduled to play Crockett Tuesday
night and will journey to Palestine to
battle Westwood tomomow night.
The Tigers' schedule called for a road
trip to Rusk on Tuesday night and has
them hosting Teague's dangerous Lions
tomorrow night. Westwood pays a visit
here next Tuesday. Action gets started
at 5 p.m. with a ninth grade contest.
TIGERETTES WIN FINALE
Coach Terry Ticknor's Tigerettes
closed the season with an impressive
50-39 win over Crockett's Lady Bulldogs
in Crockett last Thursday.
The Tigerettes jumped off to an 8-3
first quarter lead and never trailed the
remainder of the way. By the halftime
intermission the Tigerettes were up by
II, 22-11. The Lady 'Dogs took the third
period, outscoring the local cagers 14-6
to cut the lead 28-25 going into the final
stanza. The Tigerettes overcame the
sluggish period to out-total Crockett 22-
14 and claim the season-ending win.
Jessie Barron's 15 points were good
enough to capture the overall scoring
honors. Karen Jackson added I0 tallies
to the Tigerette effort and Marilyn
Davis had nine. Lisa Woolverton and
Julie Sneed finished with eight apiece.
With the victory the Tigerettes close
with a 13-14 season worksheet and finish
their first season in 18AAA play at 3-7.
Fairfield and Westwood finished tied
for the league lead and will battle
sometime this week for the champion-
ship.
JV GIRLS DROP TWO
In their final week of action, the
Junior Varisty Tigerettes lost their
final two contests. Fairfield destroyed
the Tigerettes 43-12 on Tuesday and
Crockett nipped them 31-28 last Thur-
sday.
Jackie Coleman, who led the local
jayvees in both outings, scored all 12
tallies in the loss to Fairfield and pum-
ped in 20 more in the setback to
Crockett.
Other scorers in the Crockett tilt were
Bonnie Tanner with three, Michelle
Ashiock with two, Pare Hayes with two
and Trisha Allen with a free throw.
The two setbacks dropped the Jy
Tigerettes to an overall 6-10 season
ledger. In 18AAA play the girls were 2-
8.
GRAYS SHATTERS ANOTIlER
Tyler Junior College's Robin Grays
gave an overflowing Cardinal Gym-
nasium crowd an encore performance
of the backboard breaking ability he
originally displayed on Jan. 24 in
Wagstaff Gymnasium prior to the first
scheduled Henderson County-Tyler en-
counter.
Grays' first backboard breaking
miracle forced postponment of that tilt
but that was not to be the case this time,
however, as Henderson County officials
were prepared. After only a 42 minute
delay, which only pushed the scheduled
starting time back 29 minutes, the long
awaited renewal of the rivalry finally
took place.
The delay proved well worth the wait
for Cardinal fans as the Cardinals stun-
ned the nation's third-ranked Apaches,
55-52, in overtime.
Young Bobcats
take first win
of new season
The Cross Roads Basketball
Association began its season Saturday,
Feb. 14, with a contest between the
Cross Roads 11-12 year old boys and
Fairfield 11-12 year olds.
James Pryor's Cross Roads Bobcats
defeated Carroll's Fairfield team with
a 34-33 win.
High point scorers for the Bobcats
were Keith Pryor with 13, Greg Tunnell
and Ruben Austin with seven each.
Randy Johnson was high point for Fair-
field with 18 and Marcus Shedd has
nine.

The Eaglettes began clicking on of-
fense as the second stanza got under-
way and Cynthia Garrett knotted the
score at 20-20 at the 4"20 juncture with
an eight-footer off the glass.
Two Davis-to-Jessie Barton fast
breaks enabled the Tigerettes to break
the deadlock minutes later. Karen

29-22 halftime lead,
The Tigerettes continued to hold to
the seven-point lead in the opening por-
tion of the third quarter. Midway
through the period the Eaglettes put a
clamp on Malakoff's ability to work in-
side and its scoring attack suffered.
With 2:01 left in the quarter Annette
Titus tied the score at 33-33 on a 10-foot
jumper. The Tigerettes again were able
to turn back the Eaglettes and led 37-35
going into the fourth period.
The Tigerettes were hit by what
proved to be a costly outbreak of per-
sonal fouls in the fourth quarter. With
4:59 to go Ransom sank a pair of free
throws to give Fairfield its first lead,
40-39,
Ransom ~dded two more charity
tosses seconds later to move the Fair-
field lead to 42-39. Davis finally worked
inside Fairfield's defense for a bucket
to cut the defecit to one, 42-41. At this
point Fairfield reeled off nine unan-
swered tallies, including five more free
throws, to deny the Tigerettes' upset
bid.
