The undefeated Lorena Leopards blew into town early last week and it was a dog fight. Saying, “Tiger fight never dies” was an understatement in the Rockdale High School gym on Tuesday night. The Blue and Gold ended up losing this slug fest 59-47 but there were times it looked like they might win.

ROCKDALE HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Big Blue continues to struggle on the hard court. It seems like they are just a couple of pieces away from putting something together. No doubt there is talent on this team and they are well coached but just can’t seem to win. The Tigers lost both of their games last week.
