Tidehaven defeated Rice Consolidated 39-21 in a District 14-3A-2 away game last Friday, Oct. 8.
Tidehaven (3-2, 1-0) will follow that with another road trip, this time to Wallis to play Brazos (1-5, 0-1) this Friday, Oct. 15.
“We came out strong then got a little sloppy,” Tiger Head Coach David Lucio said about last Friday’s contest.
“I liked how we tackled and our overall physicality,” Lucio added.
“We hammered them on both offense and defense.
“We still had a few too many mistakes,” Lucio commented.
“Our special teams were near flawless.
“We kicked a 33-yard field goal, blocked a punt and had some good kickoff returns.
“Our passing game was off, which I kind of expected because of the long layoff.
“Overall, I thought we played well.”
