Even though the team didn’t allow a point in the second half, the Tigers could overtake Fentress County and fell, 13-7.

After watching the Bulldogs score twice in the first half, the Tigers emerged inspired and quickly went to work.  On their second drive of the half Tiger quarterback, Chantz Bowling marched his team down field 54 yards on 9 plays capped off by a one yard Skylar Sparks touchdown rumble.  Skyler Sparks would convert the PAT and late into the third quarter DeKalb trailed only 13-7.

Skylar Sparks scored the Tigers’ only touchdown in Saturday’s game in Jamestown.

They would get no closer.

The Tigers next, and final, possession would come close for DeKalb but would fizzle out at the 24 yard line, sending the Tigers home in defeat.
