| Tigers Upset Byhalia |
| BATESVILLE – The South Panola Tigers stunned themselves and the basketball world by defeating Byhalia 47-45 in the final regular season game, Thursday, Feb. 6.
Not only that, South Panola held Byhalia to its lowest score of the season.
The Tigers accomplished this by slowing the tempo of the game, according to Tiger head coach Wilbert Beard.
With less than five seconds left on the clock, Tiger Will Poole hit a 3-pointer deep in the corner and tied the game 45-45.
Tiger Rickey Wright stole the ball at center court and scored on the layup with .5 seconds left on the clock for the Tiger win.
This was a complete turn-around from the first quarter, when the Tigers were down 9-0. The Tigers found their niche and went on a 9-2 scoring spree. The Byhalia lead was cut 11-9 at the end of the first quarter.
Corey Blackburn, who scored 12 points in the game, scored five of the first quarter points. Both teams scored 11 points in the second quarter, but Byhalia held a slight two point lead at halftime, 22-20.
Leading Tiger scorer, Lorane Burgess, scored six points in the second quarter.
