| Tigers Open Playoffs With 42-7 
    Victory Corsicana 
    rode a strong defensive performance to a 42-7 win over the Seagoville 
    Dragons on a cold, windy night in Ennis.  The Tigers were 
    possibly feeling the hangover effects of their win against Ennis as they 
    didn't play their best game of the year but still pulled away to a 42-7 win 
    over the Dragons. The defense set the tone all game long and started the scoring when Ray 
    Sims ran an interception back for a touchdown on the opening series of the 
    game.  The Tigers would then hold the Dragons to a 3 and out and on the 
    punt Lionel Gillespie would get the block to set the Tigers up in great 
    field position.  On their second snap, Eric Gordon hit Jon Bauer for 
    the touchdown to put the Tigers up 14-0 and the rout seemed to be on. Seagoville had other ideas as their ball control offense and stingy 
    defense kept the Tiger offense from getting momentum but the Tigers would 
    get a score in the second quarter to take a 21-0 halftime lead.  A 
    stiff wind hampered the Tiger offense in the second and third quarters and 
    contributed heavily to Gordon's two interceptions in the game.  One of 
    which in the third quarter ended a Tiger threat. Late in the third quarter the Tiger scoring machine got untracked and 
    would score two quick touchdowns (both by Bauer) to put the game out of 
    reach at 35-0.  Jay Finley would add a score and the Dragons would ruin 
    the shutout bid with a late touchdown. The Tigers will face Brownwood next in their drive for a championship. |
