The TCHS boys finished with a record of 23-2 and were 12-0 in Region play. They also are currently ranked 4th in the State in AA. Their only loses have come to 6A Veterans and 4A Paxon School out of Jacksonville, FL.

The Warriors tried to slow down the game to take away the TCHS offense, and they did a good job, but Toombs came out on top. Toombs held a 15-6 lead by the end of the first quarter, but in the second, the two teams combined for just 5 points. Toombs was on top 19-7 at the end of the first half.
In the third, Tattnall closed the lead to 34-24, and then went on a run in the fourth, but Toombs held them off to take the win, 42-37.
Eason was the only player for TCHS in double figures, and he finished the game with 14 points.
This week the Lady Bulldogs had a play-in game for the Region Tournament against Windsor Forest after presstime. If they won that game, they would play against Pierce County on Tuesday, also after presstime. The boys will play on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. at home with their opponent to be determined.
