Sulphur Springs could not keep up with the Lady Tigers in the second half and fell to Texas High 55-30 for their second straight loss to open district play.
The women’s basketball team played tough defense all game long, but turnovers and missed shots gave way to a hard-fought loss at the SSHS Main Gym.

E’dream Jones and Aaliyah Cheatum both got four against Texas High.
