Tigers finally close out a close game. Tigers were up 16-3 at halftime but hold off Trinity in 2nd half to get the win and are now 3-2. Trinity is 4-2.

Way to bounce back Tigers great win!

I think these are the two best teams in 6A.

Male is right there with them since 1-1 against them with 3 pt loss to Trinity and 1 point win over X.

 

X set the tone from the get-go with that Marlon Harbin 80-yard TD run on the first play. At their place, that is exactly what the Tigers wanted to do. Harbin carried the Tigers and Trinity couldn't stop him. The X D-line was solid all night it seemed. Constantly rattling Johnson and forcing him to run. Also gave the T running game a lot of trouble.

Trinity once again came out looking flat. Another bad start and they couldn't come back from that. Second half saw them get some rhythm and the defense did a much better job holding the Tigers. Looked for a minute like it might have a finish similar to the Male game but the Rocks couldn't finish.

The Rocks have not put together a complete game yet this season. Offense still needs to find an identity. Can't rely on Berry to come to the rescue every game (he left tonight with an injury late in 2nd half). Passing game was horrible tonight minus a couple good passes, including the Jeremiah Lynn TD. Had multiple clear missed drops that could've been big momentum changers.

At the end of the day, if you remove Harbin's game-opening TD this was a pretty even game. Both sides struggled at times to move the ball. X was able to get the momentum early and made more explosive plays and it made all the difference. 

If these two do indeed meet again in the playoffs we shall see what will transpire.

For now, the series sits at 50-41-2 with Trinity leading. The Tigers' win tonight snaps a two-game losing streak against Trinity. 

Coach Wallace told the radio guys before the game that RB Manny Gray will be back in 4-5 weeks which would be either the PRP or Bowling Green game. 

Fun game and the Tigers were able to make the plays at the end to close out the game. Tigers keep getting better!

Congrats to the Xaverians.

Better team - deserved the win.

Agree with prior poster - T not at their best. 

Too many mistakes and miscues.
