After a disappointing regular season in which the DeKalb County High baseball team finished 9-5 in District 8-AA, and with an overall mark of 14-15, the Tigers looked to rebound in the district tournament in Murfreesboro hosted by the regular season champions Central Magnet Tigers. By virtue of having some very good teams on their schedule this season Head Coach Tracy Slone looked for his team to be ready for this moment. "Maybe we could have had more wins if we had a softer schedule, but we fell that we need to be prepared for the district tournament," said Slone.
