It was a tough loss for the Sr High Mansfield Tigers during last nights Booneville Invitational against the Dover Pirates. The (1-3) Lady Tigers lost 50-27 against the Lady Pirates and the Pirates took the win 58-44 over the (1-3) Tigers. Both Mansfield Sr High teams are neck and neck in the wins and losses column from their overall non-conference play. But don’t let those numbers fool you. The Tigers are only getting started.
The Tigers look to get redemption as they prepare for Round 2 of the Booneville Invitational during tonight’s match-up. The Lady Tigers have been pushing themselves, not only as individuals but as a team as well. The girls have been working hard in practice and are ready to have it pay off when they face the Waldron Lady Bulldogs at 4 pm. When it comes to the Tigers, you’ll be hard pressed to try and find another group of boys with more diligence and perseverance. There’s no mountain too high for these Tigers to climb. At 5:30 pm, the boys will take on the Danville Little Johns and this time, the Tigers refuse defeat.
