WHS Tigers Win 21-12

On a road trip to Jackson-Milton the Tigers just got it going enough to squeak out a win. What should have been a blow out the Tigers just barely got by. From what I heard they were flat for just about the whole game. Jackson - Milton remains win less for this season.

Normally they have been playing this year as a "second half team". Going into the locker room at the end of the first half the Tigers were leading 8 - 0. Then they came out and let J - M score two unanswered touch downs and were down 12 -8 for the longest time. Finally in the 4th quarter they regained the lead and played just enough defense to not allow J - M back into the game. All in all they played about three minutes of good football. The rest of the game was just plain flat from my view point.

Details in the morning papers. Thanks to wkmx live for bringing us the game in real time.

A note on the article in the paper, the 2 point conversion was NOT a pass from Bubba Dowling to DeShon Pulley, it was a pass from Bubba Dowling to Chad Elliott. I don't know who calls in the stats for the game but they were wrong. Ask anyone who was there.

Thanks for the corrections. Could have sworn that I read that J-M was beaten by big scores all this season.

I think that since this is about football, it would be nice to point out that the 8th Grade Football Team is undefeated at this point. Their next game is at Lowellville on Thursday night at 5 p.m. Congratulations on their efforts!!!

Let me add my congratulations to the 8th Grade team also. Those youngsters will one day be giving us exciting games on Friday nights. Thanks to those coaches that mostly volunteer their time in building a good sports program. Some have been at it for years and I'm sure are awarded for their efforts when they watch some of those they coached winning those varsity games.

Go Tigers...
