Martinez was all over the court and added 6 steals. The Tigers came away from the first round with a 33-6 victory and a place in the Championship game.
Earlier that evening Franklin County defeated Hosford to also move on to the Championship game and set up the third meeting of the season with the Lady Tigers.
The Lady Tigers came out ready to play and using stellar defense was able to hold the Seahawks to 0 points in the first half while putting up 20 of their own. With the trophy in sight their the Tigers never let up. They finished the game with a 42-10 victory.

The Lady Tigers have had a wonderful season. On behalf of the Lady Tigers I would like to thank Rebecca DeVuyst and the Piggly Wiggly for the pre-game meals during playoff week. I would also like to thank all the parents for their support as they came out to support the Lady Tigers for all their game, including the long road trip to Franklin County.
The Tigers still have one more trip left to take as they will be taken to a Florida State basketball game on Dec. 19th to reward them for all their hard work.
Again Congratulations Lady Tigers....GO TIGERS!!
