After starting the first five weeks of their season the West Sabine Tigers finally got to christen their remade field against the Colmesneil Bulldogs October 11. The Tigers got Homecoming off to a quick start, as after a Bulldog three and out they used the short field to their advantage as three plays later Kameron Striegel popped it up the left side for a 28 yard TD. Jakobe Harris added the PAT to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead. The next Tiger possession saw more points as Laken Quick found Harris up the right sideline for a 16 yard TD, and Harris would add the PAT to make it 14-0 after one.

Kane Ross / Caden Wright brought in a 5 fish limit with 10.15 lbs. placing 28th place, and Blake Brittain / Aiden Spears with 4.41 lbs. placing 62nd place in this weekend's DETX Tournament Q2 on Sam Rayburn. 106 teams from various high schools in East Texas competed in this tournament.
