   The Van Vleck Leopards made for a difficult homecoming night last Friday for the Tidehaven Tigers.
   With both cross-county teams carrying 2-0 district records int]o the District 14-3A-2 clash, Tidehaven fell 49-27 to Van Vleck.

   “We made a ton of mistakes Friday, but we will rebound,” said Tiger Head Coach David Lucio.  
   “Van Vleck played a great game, and we played our worst game of the season,” Lucio added.  
   “Not a good combination for us.  
   “We checked just about every box in the list of things to screw up during a football game,” he said.  
   “The key is to not repeat it in the future.  
   “East Bernard has not lost a district game on their home field in several years,” Lucio commented on this Friday’s game. 
   “This is going to be a heck of a challenge for our young team.  
   “We have to improve our tackling and clean up the mistakes to have a prayer,” Lucio said.
   Tiger quarterback Logan had 13 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown.
   Tiger Chance Robinson had two carries for 13 yards and two touchdowns and Joseph Dodds had 13 carries for 80 yards and a two-point conversion.
