The Sealy Tigers recorded their
second win of the season Friday
night in La Grange by the score of
21-13.
Five inches of rain had fallen
on La Grange early Friday-
morning making the well-drained
field wet. The night was hot and
muggy, causing the players to
perspire heavily. Both teams hit
very hard, all of this had an effect
on the amount of fumbles on
both sides Sealy had seven and
La Grange had six.
On several occasions Sealy had
the opportunity to ice the game
only to give up the ball on a
fumble, or have it moved back
due to a penalty.
