Tigers fall, bell returns to Cameron

The Rockdale Tigers lost in front of the home crowd against Cameron last Friday by a final score of 35-10. It always hurts to lose but to lose to Cameron and to lose the bell seems to hurt just a little bit more. There is no doubt the Blue & Gold was up for this game, it just did not go their way.
