June 20. 2017, Tenaha Special Events Center –

Area teams such as Tenaha, Joaquin, Chireno, Woden and Nacogdoches, enjoyed summer basketball league action, last Monday, at Tenaha High School. The Monday Basketball Summer League started weeks ago and will continue until late summer and include other teams such as Timpson High School as well.

This week’s action saw cross-county rivals Tenaha and Joaquin battle it out in a close game which saw the game tied at 29-29 until Lady Ram Erica Davis gave Joaquin a two-point lead (31-29) with five and a half minutes left in the contest.

Tenaha briefly gained a 32-31 advantage but a Lady Rams’ put-back shot, and a Day’za Lane hook, in the final two minutes left in the contest, gave Joaquin the chance to stall the remaining time off the clock and win by a 35-32 margin.

The Chireno Lady Owls took on the West Sabine Lady Tigers next. The Lady Owls took a commanding 32-6 lead into the midway break. They went on to win the contest by over thirty points.

Joaquins’ second game saw them trail Woden 30-16 at the midway point of the contest. Woden held on to beat the Lady Rams 57-28.

Tenaha played the Nacogdoches Lady Dragons in the night’s final game. Nacogdoches held a narrow 13-12 lead at halftime and went on to win 33-30.

Tenaha will again host league play on Monday next week starting at 5 p.m.
