A bad snap on a punting attempt set Tenaha up in good field position, just inside San Augustine’s 10-yard line with 10 minutes left in the first half of play. Tenaha senior running back Jay Lloyd made good on a first down carry and bolted into the endzone for a 9-yard score with 6:07 left in the second quarter.

Castillo gave Tenaha a 17-13 lead with 8:26 left in the third stanza when he added a 29-yard field goal. Moments later Castillo came up big again for the Tigers when the senior kicker made a huge tackle on the kickoff return which prevented a sure Wolves touchdown.

Franks recovered a Wolves fumble on the next San Augustine drive and Tenaha took possession on their own 36-yard line. The San Augustine defense stiffened and forced THS to turn the ball over on downs with 6 minutes left in the third frame.
