April 3, 2016 - On Friday April 1, the Tenaha Tigers won their third straight District 23 2A game by beating the Joaquin Rams by a 13-8 score. This happened on a day that their new ballpark was dedicated to the memory of Cole DePriest, the son of Head Tigers Baseball Coach David DePriest. Cole passed away a year ago from injuries sustained from a horse riding accident.
A touching ceremony dedicating the park to DePriests' memory included his sister, Abi DePriest, throwing out the first pitch. After the Tigers upset win, each Tenaha ballplayer copied Cole's signature slide in to home plate in memory of the kid who was a facet in the community and attended most sporting events.
Joaquin started off on top and led 1-0 at the end of the first inning after a Kase Yates RBI single scored Brock Lawson. Tigers pitcher Trevin Stewart was able to strike out the next two Rams batters to minimize the Rams offensive.
Joaquin added three runs in the second inning, and two more in the top of the fourth inning, to take a 7-0 lead. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Tenaha exploded for ten runs of their own to take a 10-7 lead. The Tigers added three more scores in the bottom of the fifth inning and took a 13-7 lead.
Ram, Elezar Huera, scored the final run of the contest in the top of the sixth frame and brought JHS to within 8-13 of Tenaha but Joaquin's attempt at a rally was thwarted by two Tyler Muckelroy strike outs and a nice play on a ground ball by Stewart in the final inning.
Tenaha has moved out of the conference basement by winning their last three contests after starting league play at 0-4.
Joaquin is 5-2 and holds on to second place after a 2-1 Shelbyville loss to Gary.
The two teams will start the second round of district play on Tuesday, April 5, Joaquin heads to Mount Enterprise for a 6:30 pm game with the Wildcats. Tenaha hosts the Gary Bobcats at 4:30 pm.
Coach David DePriest stated, "We are so proud of the kids for staying in the game and fighting back when we were behind. Coach (Wade) Lawson always brings a good team to play and we are fortunate to have been able to keep this game within reach. I'm proud of our players and this was a special day."
April 1, 2016 - The hometown Joaquin Rams varsity baseball team held on to shut out the Shelbyville Dragons by a 3-0 score last Tuesday. Rams pitcher Brock Lawson threw a complete game in the win which moved his team to 5-1 in District 23 2A play and gave JHS sole possession of second place in the conference. The Rams trail the undefeated Beckville Bearcats who boast a spotless 6-0 standing. Shelbyville falls to 4-2 and they are still in the playoff race and in third place.
The two teams face their final opponents of the first round of district competition with Joaquin traveling to Tenaha, on Friday, April 1 for a 4:30 pm game with the 2-4 Tigers. The Dragons head to Beckville, on April 8, to face the current conference leaders at 6 p.m., according to Maxpreps.
Tuesdays game saw the Rams and Dragons both scoreless for the first 4 1/2 innings. In the bottom of the fourth inning Kase Yates was able to reach base via a walk. He later scored on a squeeze-play on a Trey Wilkerson sacrifice bunt. The Rams took a 1-0 lead into the fifth inning.
