The West Sabine Tigers and the Hemphill Hornets tangled once again in the 2025 edition of the PineCone Bowl, aka the Sabine County Super Bowl. The scoring started early as Jakobe Harris took it over from five yards out to draw first blood. The Hornets came right back, methodically chewing up almost seven minutes before Smith went in from five yards out to knot the score at six.

The West Sabine Tigers looked to notch their first win of the season September 4 as they battled their namesakes from up north, the Tenaha Tigers. West Sabine got off to a fast start, notching three TD’s in the first quarter to take a 20-7 lead. The Tigers would tack on two more scores in the second quarter to make it 32-7 at halftime. The third period saw two more Tiger TD’s and the fourth saw the defense get in on the scoring with a safety to make the final 48-7 West Sabine.

The Hemphill Hornet Bass Club kicked off its first tournament this past weekend, and it was a huge success. Young anglers from across the area turned out for a day of competition, excitement, and community spirit.
