It was the second quarter that proved to be the difference in the game as the Titans took control of the boards and converted a handful of offensive rebounds into easy points. The Titans went into the half leading 36-22.

For the third consecutive game the Tigers showed a no quit mentality and battled back in the fourth quarter but the early deficit was too much for the young Tigers to overcome. “We have shown the capability to compete in every game so far this season, but we have to be more consistent and put together four quarters of good basketball if we expect to win these tight games” , Fannett- Metal Head Coach Paul Coffman said.

The Tigers would outscore the Titans in the second half but it wasn’t enough as the Titans hung on for the victory.
