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.
