TRINITY — The Tigers returned home Friday night with hopes of rebounding from their road trip loss to Newton and make improvements on their season that is nearing its end.

Unfortunately, the Bulldogs were also licking their wounds from a late-game defeat against Hemphill and were not going to let another game slip away.

The Bulldogs dominated the Tigers in all phases of the game from start to finish and were able to keep the Tigers from mounting anything close to a scoring drive.

The Bulldogs were able to mix passing and running to keep the defense off balance and put together seven touchdown drives, and easily handed the Tigers another lopsided defeat of 49-0.

Along with the loss, the Tigers suffered another possible season ending injury. Junior Bryan Crabtree suffered an ankle injury on an attempted blocked punt by the Bulldogs that resulted in a 15-yard personal foul.

Coach Patrick Goodman spoke to his team after the game and stressed the importance of the last two remaining games and urged his players to come to practice and prepare for Warren and Anderson-Shiro. If the Tigers are able to win both games, they should be able to participate in the playoffs as the fourth seed in the district.

The Tigers will take their final scheduled road trip Friday Night to Warren. Throughout the year, Warren has faced similar struggles and the Tigers are hoping to add another win to their record. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
