Trailing 12-8 at the half, the Joaquin 7th grade Rams had one more touchdown in them, but unfortunately so did the Arp Tigers, as a 10-point third-quarter deficit was too much to overcome as the Tigers escaped with an 18-16 victory at Ram Stadium Thursday night.

The Tiger 8th grade also had enough offense to pick up a win as Arp secured a 42-22 win later in the evening.
