What about the DCHS Tigers versus the Macon County Tigers? Did we lose at the end of the second half with little over a minute to play? We thought so and turned off the radio and went to bed. So we just missed the greatest win for the DCHS Tigers that fans can remember. Congratulations to this good team which came home with another victory. And to Coach Trapp, you have our support and best wishes for future games.
