The Coahoma bulldogs came to town this past friday night. It turned out to be a defensive struggle. The Tigers intercepted the ball on the first play from scrimmage and could do nothing with the turnover. It was a sign of things to come. We could move the ball up and down the field, we just could not get into the endzone. After missing an extra point and allowing the Dawgs to score the Tigers were down 7-6 late in the fourth. A fumble return for a touchdown late in the game by Trenton Bounds saved the offensive drought for the Tigers. The final score was Anson 12 and Coahoma 7.
Coahoma is probably the best 1-6 team in the state. The film that I had watched on the team in no way did justice to this defense. They came in to Tiger stadium ready to play. With a loss to Ccity and Anson the Bulldogs are 0-2 in district play, but don't be surprised if you see them in the playoffs.
The Tigers have to work on the Red Zone Offense, counting to two, silly penalties, and turnovers. The Tigers are 2-0 in district play for the first time in I don't know when. The defense again kept the other team out of the endzone. The Bulldogs had a little more offensive yardage than the Tigers normally give up. The bright spots for the Tiger were a little improvement in route running, pass blocking, and catching the ball. The line did pretty well again this week!
This week the Tigers face an improved Hawley team. The game is at Hawley at 7:30 this friday night. Come out and support the Tigers on the way to a district championship.
