Tigers jump out to 1-0

The Tigers earned their first win in almost 2 years beating Rusk 16-6. The Tigers defense stopped Rusk 4 times on 4th down and intercepted them twice.

The only score for Rusk was an interception that was ran in for a score.  The extra point was blocked and Quincy Jackson ran it back to give Terrell 2 points.

Michael Nelson, a sophomore playing his first varsity game, scored the Tigers first TD of the game on a 48 yard run.  Their second score was a 3 yard run by Quamyas White.

The Tigers had players playing offense and defense on a night when the game time temperature was near 100. Rayquain Brown had a good game on both side of the ball.  He rushed for 19 yards, caught 4 passes for 18 yards and on defense intercepted the Rusk QB.

Next week the Tigers are on the road playing Dallas Carter.

Rayquain Brown gets a few hard yards against the Rusk defense. 

Made it to game day

Game day is finally here.  Tonight the Tigers host the the Rusk Eagles, kick off is 7:30. These are our body guards for the year.  They are the guys who run up and down the field with the flags after each score.  Lets hope they get worn out tonight.

Record heat on the way

Record heat today and tomorrow. Over 100 both days.  The Tigers freshmen and JV teams travel to Rusk this afternoon for their first football games of the year.

Lady Tigers Volleyball

Last night was the first home volleyball contest of the year. I wasn't able to stay for the entire contest but I was able to get a few pictures.

Getting a leg up

Kickers have a lonely job.  They don't even get to practice with the rest of the team. 

Green with envy

School starts back up today.....yeah I'm not green with envy. 

Pick one

I usually pick one picture from a series to post. Sometimes, there are more than one I like, but they never get posted. 

Tune up over

The Tigers took their Freshmen/JV and Varsity teams to North Garland last night for their only scrimmage.  The varsity came back from 14 down to tie 14-14.  They play for keeps next Friday. 

Skywatch Friday...Football Friday

We get our first chance to get a look at the Terrell football team this evening when they go to North Garland for a scrimmage.

Check out other Skywatch Friday sites here.

North Forney gets ready

I was able to make the short drive over to North Forney High School last night to catch a little of their practice.  The Falcons have a scrimmage this Friday at City Bank Stadium against Little Elm.  North Forney competes in the same district as Terrell, 10-4A.

House shopping

I got to my doctor appointment yesterday a little early.  Instead of going in and waiting, I went house shopping.  What do you think about this little one?

Meet the Tiger night

Last night was the unofficial start of the new school year with Meet the Tigers.  Its a huge pep rally to introduce the athletes, cheerleaders, Tigerettes and band for and welcome everyone to a new school year.

Senior Soccer

The past week I have been taking photos for the football program.  Most of the shots will not be posted on here or Facebook.  You will have to buy the program :-).

But there are a few that won't be included, like this one.  These are the senior boys on the soccer team.

BTW, today is my birthday, the big 49.

Too quick

During practice yesterday, the Tiger runner was able to avoid being hit leaving the defenders to hit each other.

Picture time, hurry up

It's time to get the pictures taken for the All Sports Program that is sold at the football games.  Last night was tennis and girls soccer.  Tonight is golf.

Never fails

No rain for two weeks but as soon as I plan something outdoors it pours.  Oh well, we need the rain. 

Turn it up

And it starts

This morning the Tiger coaching staff will be meeting in this room before heading out for the first practice of the year.  This one was taken one day last week.

Tiger Family day

Prior to football practice starting, the Tiger coaches got together for a family day.  Some of the kids enjoyed fishing in the pond.
