5-0
Your Tex Hill Tiger football teams are now 5-0. Your Tigers faced a gritty Nimitz MS team on
Tuesday night. Your 7th grade Tigers started off strong and had two decisive victories over
the Seahawks.
Also on Tuesday night, your 8th grade Tiger Football Team started slow, but picked up
momentum cruising to two more district wins. You may view the football results here.
