Starting their record well, the Indians won all seven pre-district games. The Tribe lost their first game when they played Athens in the Canton Tournament. Win- ning the next two games, they received the consolation trophy. Defeating Lindale, Canton, and Mineola, the Tribe brought home the first place trophy from the Mineola Tournament. District play opened for the Indians when they defeated the Wills Point Tigers, 21-0. The team won their next four games and the first round of district play. Starting the second round, the Indians defeated the Wills Point Tigers. The first district loss came when the Tribe played the Van Vandals at Van. The Indians had four errors to the Vandals' one. Against the Mabank Panthers, Ricky Grier and David Carroll each had a homerun to contribute to the win. Defeating the Brownsboro Bears, the Indians were in first place in the district, but losing to Canton put them in a tie for first with the Eagles . The most important game of the season was the playoff game against the Canton Eagles. In the second inning the Eagles were ahead 5-2, but the Indians held them to only one more run. The Indians had five errors to the Eagles' two and lost the game, 5-6. r I .H Asa.. .' ' , A - . .un .
