TYLER, Tx - For the second time in as many years the No.4 Tenaha Tigers came to Wagstaff Gymnasium and the Class 1A D-I Region III Tournament as underdogs to the No.3-ranked Cayuga Wildcats and once again the Tigers caught the 'Cats by their tales and showed them that nobody can underestimate Tenaha.

Octavius Griffith came alive as he did a year ago when it comes to 'tourney time', scoring 21 points and Demon Horton buried a three-pointer with just 3.8 seconds remained to lift THS to a 75-74 victory before a packed crowd.

LUFKIN - The No.4-ranked Tenaha Tigers took the first step toward making a return trip to the State Basketball Championships tournament in Austin when they held off a pesky Lovelady squad and survived an upset with a 66-61 win here at Panther Gymnasium Friday night in a Class 1A D-I Region III Area matchup.

The Tigers (19-4) survived everything the Lions threw at them, despite a subpar shooting performance. Tenaha shot 25-of-60 (42%) from the floor and a stagnant 12-of-31 (39%) from the free throw line.

TENAHA, Tx -- Returning all of its roster from the 2010-11 squad that advanced all the way to the Class 1A D-I state championship game, the Tenaha Tigers have been on cruise control for most of the first 21 games of the current season. It was almost as if the Tigers were waiting for the playoffs so they could switch gears and make a run at a possible third state tournament berth in four years.
