The Mansfield Sr High Tigers are now 5-6 after a big conference win over the Future School Rockets Tuesday night. The Tigers swung into action fast and furious immediately taking the lead over the Rockets and for four straight quarters they remained relentless earning them a 67-33 victory. Leading the team in double-digit points was Codi Chick with 20 and JoJo Bailey with 14. Chick busted onto the scene like a hammer through a piece of sheetrock as he blasted not one, not two, not three, but FOUR three-pointers in the game leaving the Rockets running for cover any time Chick took a shot.
Bailey also joined Chick in the three-ring circus as he ponied up a trio of three-pointers during the game. Not only was he successful offensively, but defensively Bailey acquired more blocks than the Great Wall of China. Ethan Pettus contributed 9 points to the tally book and looked spry as he glided up and down the court popping off shots wherever and whenever he wanted. Mansfield fans continued salivating as six more Tigers threw in points for the team. Bri Sanderson, Zayne Dugan, Tyler Escalante, Drew Elmore, Jackson Andrews, and Darton Hoopengarner combined for the remaining points.
To finish out this week, the Sr Tigers will jump headfirst into their second conference game of the week as they face the Lavaca Golden Arrows Thursday, December 17 in Lavaca. This will be the first time this season that the Sr Tigers and the Sr Golden Arrows have faced each other but just like any other time these two teams go head-to-head, tonight is sure to be an all-out hoop scoop.
