On January 12, the Tigers made the road trip to Midland to face the Midland High Bulldogs. The Tigers commanded the court with a final score of 81-47. Boys Head Basketball Coach Paul Page is happy to secure that first District win of the season.
“It was good to get our first district win on the road at Midland High,” said Coach Page. “It’s a very tough place to play with a great home team environment so it was good to see our guys handle that and play as well as we did. Chase Campbell, Leyton Stone, and Holden Phillips came up big for us offensively and our defensive pressure helped create a lot of scoring opportunities that we were able to capitalize on.”
