Coaches BILL KEESEE - Head, WILLIAM HARPER, ALBERT TILLER OTTIS HARGETT DENNIS SMITH ls , The Tigers began their season in August, with workouts designed to prepare them mentally and physically for the long, hard season ahead. The Tigers started their season of play with a victory over Queen City and another over Halls- ville, before they met their first setback at Paul Pewitt. The Tigers supplied an exciting finish to the Paul Pewitt game, but could not connect for the winning points. They then demolished Jefferson be- fore closing pre -district with a loss to West Rusk. When the Tigers entered district play, they had visions of the crown and set out to win it. Hughes Springs proved to be little opposition, but the Tigers had to play hard to win their home- coming game against New Boston. The next week, L-K took its only district loss as several lucky breaks gave the game to DeKalb. How- ever, the Tigers came on strong against their arch-rival, Atlanta, and on Friday, November 13 , de- feated Hooks and won a three way toss with Atlanta and DeKalb to play in the state playoffs. In the Bi-District game Winnsboro fell to the Tigers. L-K went to Regional, Ready to beat Wills Point, but a brilliant last-minute effort fell short and the Tigers' season ended , with an 8-4 record and a Bi-District Championship.
