After containing the Purple Tigers on the opening drive Friday night, the DCHS Tiger team looked poised to capture its first win of the season after a 71-yard touchdown pass from QB Tyler Cantrell to Paxton Butler put the Tigers on the board first for a 6-0 lead with 9:36 on the clock.
Tiger Andrew Fuson's PAT was good for the 7-0 score.
The game stayed promising until late in the third with the Tigers just 3-points shy 24-21 with 7:18 left to play it was still anyone's ballgame.
That's when fortune favored the Purple Tigers who dominated the second half and won the game 59-21 leaving DeKalb (0-4) still searching for answers.
