Tigers drop heartbreaker to Newton, 16-12, in regional semifinal
Going into the season, the Daingerfield Tigers found themselves in uncharted territory, not listed among the state’s best. After two early losses, the Tigers went undefeated in District play to earn a playoff berth. After dispatching Anderson-Shiro in round one and De Kalb in round the two, the Tigers looked to keep their momentum rolling as they traveled to Homer Bryce Stadium, on the campus of Stephen F. Austin University to take on the Newton Eagles. Unfortunately for the Tigers, their dreams of advancing were stopped five yards short, as they fell to Newton, 16-12.
