The Lady Tigers also picked up a win over Pickens County Middle School, 37-20, last Tuesday.

The game with Riverview was close the entire ballgame.

“We played pretty good,” said Head Coach Tina Brown. “It was a defensive battle. I was proud that the girls kept their composure in a tight situation.”

Sheyenne Seabolt led all Lady Tigers in scoring with 18 points, while Jordan Moore had six points and Brooke Wende finished with two points.
