THORNDALE BASKETBALL

ROCKDALE— The Bulldogs were red hot coming into Rockdale last week and beat the hometown Tigers 60-38. This is a well-oiled machine, they play as a team and are well coached by Head Coach Michael Williams. It’s very hard not to be impressed.

Coaching inspirations

If you are looking for inspiration you don’t have to travel too far from Rockdale. I was fortunate to be part of the local ministerial alliance in 2017 when our Tigers won a state football championship.

MILANO BASKETBALL

The Lady Eagles went into last week with a 3-1 record but had a week filled with mixed results. Milano won against Moody 34-19 and they won their first game in the Academy Tournament against Weimar 35-23, but after that they suffered three straight losses.

ROCKDALE BASKETBALL

THORNDALE— The Tigers looked good early against the neighboring Thorndale Bulldogs in a home game. They were driving the paint and playing like men on a mission. At halftime the score was Thorndale 32, Rockdale 17.

Varsity

Thanksgiving did not slow down our men’s Tiger basketball teams. The varsity squad even got their first win of the season last week. The Tigers are now sitting on a 1-4 record for the year as district games are drawing near.
