Then it was home again for the next two games. The first one being with the Greenwaves which was a thriller from the beginning to the end, with the score being tied at the half. With a few seconds left to play it looked as if the game would end, the Greenwaves being victorious. However, as the spectators were on their feet, Captain Lannom dribbled across the center, paused, shotwstripping the net--winning the game by one point. Coach Knee's Tigers certainly played a game that will ever be remembered in basketball history. Our last home game was with Auburntown, the Tigers again playing a hard fought game and winning 52-21. VVe traveled to Carthage for the last game of the season. We lost the game to a strong squad, with Thompson and Lannom sharing scoring honors for the Tigers. We had several days to rest before meeting Gallatin's Greenwaves in the Ninth District Tournament. Coach Knee and his squad were determined that the story would not be repeti- tion of the last ycar's tournament game with Gallatin. The quick thinking and experience as a good coach and the outstanding teamwork and the playing of the Tigers gave us a victory of 39 to 31. We then played Lebanon in the semi-finals. We were leading at the half by several points, but lost by two points, despite the superior play- ing of our team. Captain Lannom was placed on the all-tournament team as guard. Thus, the season closed and the school admin- istration and student body were justly proud of the 1948-49 Tigers!
