Tenaha High School, August 15, 2019 –
Coach Robert Tamplin has taken over duties at Tenaha High School as the Tigers head football coach. He has been an assistant coach at the school for four seasons. He came from Price Carlisle where he coached for six years.
Before coaching Tamplin played football at Price Carlise High School for coach Rock Baker. Afterwards he studied and played football at East Texas Baptist University, and Texas College, where he played baseball as well before graduating.
Tamplin is married and raising three sons. Two of his sons will be taking the field as players on this year’s Tigers football squad.
The Tigers take the field tomorrow (August 16, 2019) at 5 p.m. at Shelbyville High School for the team’s first scrimmage of the season.
Tamplin said, “We are trying to get the team’s chemistry off to a good start. One of our challenges will be getting momentum and dealing with adversity. That’s what football is. We are not a big team and we will need to use our team speed and hard work to make up for any disadvantages in size. My biggest surprise thus far is that things are running smoothly at this point in the pre-season.”
Tamplin is joined this season by assistant coaches, Kevin Cates, Todd Bodden, Luke Balkcom, Daniel Ball, Andre Jones, and Marlon Garrett. The school’s Athletic Director is Greg Jenkins.

Ruston Louisiana, Sunday, August 4, 2019 -
Center’s AAA Dixie League Baseball Team has been known all season to be an exciting team who can make a comeback if needed. Their second-round game against the Arkansas Dixie champions was no exception as they came back from a 5-2 deficit to eventually take a 9-6 lead in the sixth inning for the win. They now advance to take on the loser of the Georgia/ Tennessee game in a 5:45 Monday afternoon matchup.
Center had lost their first game by a 9-6 score to Ruston, Louisiana. A loss to Arkansas would have quelled their chances of being this year’s Dixie League Championship.
Kayden Nutt had started the game as pitcher for Texas, Head Coach Robby Dubea stated, “Easton Wulf came in as a relief pitcher in the third inning and helped shut Arkansas down. Our boys were patient and smart at the plate. This was a total team effort. Everyone did their part and we wound up getting seven runs late to get the win. Juaemez Daniels also helped the team with a great performance as a relief pitcher.”
The team is not new to making comebacks as they made numerous comebacks in earlier tournament games including a thriller against Kilgore at the Texas State Dixie Tournament held in Center last month.
