TIGERS WIN!
Arp High School varsity 🐅🏀 boys held off Elysian Fields 52-50 in their Cushing Tournament opener Thursday.
With a mighty second quarter effort, our Tigers erased a 24-9 first quarter deficit, then took a one point lead going into the fourth quarter, and managed to hold on for the victory.
Junior Donavan Garrett led Arp with 12 points including two big three point buckets during that second quarter spurt. Senior Jaxon Schminkey added 11 points, and senior Cade Ward chipped in with nine.
Our varsity young men advanced to the tournament semifinals at 1:30pm Friday when they will face San Augustine.
Depending on their outcome then, they will play either at 6:00pm Saturday for the tournament title, or at 3:00pm Saturday for third place versus either Cushing or Union Grove.
