The Winnfield Tigers lost a close game last Friday night against the Mansfield Wolverines 20-14. The Tigers didn’t go down easy on their last game of the season at Stokes-Walker Stadium, though. 

Luck was not on the Tiger’s side last Friday night as things started out rough as the opening drive ended in a fumble. This pulled in the Tiger defense where they did a good job holding the Wolverines with a fourth down tackle by Josh Hayes handing the possession over to Winnfield. In the second quarter, quarterback Nickalas Mockosher threw an impressive 50 yard pass to Gabe Wren who scored Winnfield’s first touchdown.

 Later in the game, a long touchdown pass to Tank Lewis scored Winnfield another six points, and this was followed up with a successful attempt by the Tiger’s offense for a two point conversion bringing the game to a nail biting 20-14. The Tiger’s defense did a fighting job as usual and held the Wolverines.  However the offense had a difficult time moving down the field. No matter the heart they possessed last Friday it proved a difficult game with the Tiger’s being so close behind their competitors. 

Next Friday the Winnfield Tigers will play the Red River Bulldogs at Red River High School whose record is currently 4-4. The weather should be 68 degrees Fahrenheit with a 30 percent chance of rain. Consider making the journey out to support the Winnfield Tigers!
