A last chance 25-yard field goal with 4:04 left in the game by Blaine Ware put the Tigers over Greenville 22-20, Friday, September 1. The 6A matchup was nothing like it was expected to be as South Panola struggled from the outset.

The Tigers had to fight a deficit all night long on wet and muddy field conditions, unlike what they are use to with artificial turf. However, the Tigers did survive to go 2-1 on the early season. The Tigers will play its home opener against Clarksdale Friday at 7 p.m.

 

 Tiger John Railey catches a pass under a Greenville sign that says, “King Kong ain’t got nothing on us.” Maybe not but the Tigers sure did. Railey caught this 39-yard pass to convert a fourth-down-and-10 which set up a one-yard touchdown run by Jordan Strong on the next play.
