The Tigers went on the road Wednesday evening and dropped a 61-48 contest to the Bulldogs.  The Tigers trailed 14-11 after the 1st quarter of play.  In the second quarter the Bulldogs continued their hot shooting knocking down a total of eight treys in the first half to take a 33-18 lead at the half.  In the second half the Tigers turned up the pressure and trimmed the lead to 8 points, but they could pull no closer as the Bulldogs came away with a 61-48 win.  “Give them credit, they shot the ball extremely well all night long and deserved to win tonight.  We battled hard in the second half and made a nice run, but it just wasn’t our night”, Fannett-Metal Coach Paul Coffman said.
