Tigers Drop District Opener in Hostile Road Environment

After spotting a tough Shelbyville team in front of a frenzied
crowd a 29-10 lead in the 2nd quarter, the Tenaha Tigers settled in and
rallied back valiantly only to fall short 51-47 in the District 22-2A
opener.  With the halftime score 32-19 Shelbyville, the Tigers rallied to
hold a 41-37 lead after three quarters.  The loss was Tenaha’s first
district loss since the 2008 season.  The Dragons snapped a district winning
streak of over 60 games for the Tigers as now the Tigers will turn their
attention to Martinsville at home tonight.

 Lady Tigers Seize Control of 22-2A with Thrilling Win over Shelbyville 

Armed with a roster full of youth, Garry Davison and the Tenaha
Lady Tigers seized sole possession of first place in District 22-2A when
Bianca Davison’s long-range (and by long range, we mean way behind the line)
3-point shot broke a 49-49 tie with just under a minute to play leading to a
Lady Tiger 53-49 road win at Shelbyville.  In a game that saw the Lady
Tigers dominate much of the action, but struggle to finish plays, the Lady
Dragons found themselves in a position to steal a home win before Davison’s
big shot.  Ke’anya Davis played a huge role for Tenaha as she had to pick up
much of the point guard play due to foul trouble.  Overall, it was a great
team win for the Lady Tigers who are now 15-9 on the season and 3-0 in
District.

Tenaha Robotics Headed Back to State

Saturday, the Tenaha Robotics team climbed onto the bus at 6:00 A.M. headed
to Tyler for the Regional Meet.  The Tenaha teams had been working hard
getting their robots and programs ready for this meet.

This year the robots were to plant seeds (pvc pipe) allow the seeds to grow
(wiffle balls placed on the pipes) and then harvest their crop.  Points were
awarded for gathering the harvest, carrying the harvest to the barn, and
then clean the field by removing the pipes and placing them in the barn as
well.

It was a very good day for the Tenaha Robotics teams.

At the Middle School level, the team of Wesley Fox and Andrew Tyner finished
2nd and will be competing at the state meet that will be held on May 2nd.

The team of Kale Page and Kamari Gray finished 3rd and have a good chance of
receiving a wild card for the state meet.

The team of Drew Henry and Jalynn Durbin finished in 5th place and the team
of Colton Kimbrough, Irvin Barona, and Erik Vazquez finished in 8th place.

At the High School level, the team of Zoee Rogers, Bianca Davison, and
Bianca Ramirez finished in 5th  place, the team of Miguel Mendoza and Jacob
Samford finished 9th and the team of Ruben Hernandez and Hernan Hernandez
finished 10th.

Mrs. Farmer, robotics sponsor, stated that she is proud of her robotics
students. These students have put in a lot of after school hours preparing
for this contest and have been working hard. When we go to these robotics
meets our students compete against all schools from all over East Texas with
classifications from 2A to 6A.  Robotics engages students in complex,
strategic problem-solving and higher-order thinking—a set of skills that is
a high priority for 21st century education.  The Tenaha students showed once
again that they are some of the best in Robotics.

Mrs. Farmer would also like to thank the parents of her robotic students for
allowing them to participate in the program. She appreciates her students
and their parents’ dedication to education.
