Undefeated Terrell On
Deck
This Friday will be the biggest
game of the Tigers season so far and will also present the biggest
challenge to date. The undefeated and #7 in the state Terrell Tigers
await the Tigers in the first of two pivotal games.
Terrell will present the Tiger
offense with a formidable challenge as they haven't let an opposing
offense score more than 13 points in any game this year. Last week
they shutout Lancaster in a wet game and like Corsicana have only allowed
7 points total so far in district play. After demonstrating a wide
open attack in non-district, the Tigers have since returned to their old
standby - a power running game - and it's worked well as last week both
Clarence Robinson and Whitney McDade eclipsed the 100 yard mark which is a
testament not only to their abilities but to the progress the offensive
line has made this year. The Tiger passing game will get a boost
this week with the return of Tyjuan Manning who provided a playmaking
threat opposite of Jon Bauer.
On defense, the Tigers should be
very familiar with what they will face as seniors Shawn Ashley and Adrian
Turner faced the Tigers last season. Ashley is an efficient and
effective passer who had an excellent game against Corsicana last season.
Last week the Tigers faced a running back who has now rushed for over 1000
yards and Turner will make this two weeks in a row for the Tigers.
Terrell and Corsicana have had
some great battles in the past few years and this one is shaping up as
another great contest. Come to Terrell and support the Tigers!
