After going to Nevada, sitting through a lightening delay, moving back to Lamar and then waiting out a monsoon… the fifth grade Tigers came away with a big win Saturday morning, Sept. 12, keeping their version of the Silver Tiger at home. The massive rainstorm played a number on this writer’s notes, so there were huge runs and big defensive plays by several Tigers. And that’s about it… more next week.
