The DeKalb County Tigers will meet the Macon County Tigers in the first round of the District 8AA basketball tournament tonight (Tuesday) at Watertown High School.

Tip off is at 7:30 p.m.

Tiger Talk February 18

The Tigers are seeded 7th with a record of 6-21. 3-11 and Macon County, the 6th seed, is 8-20, 3-11.

During the regular season the DeKalb County Tigers won on January 17 at Lafayette 85 to 81 but lost on February 11 by a score of 58 to 52 in Smithville.

“These are two evenly matched teams. They have a good forward in Braydee Brooks. They try to get him the ball a lot to take shots and they have a couple of other shooters spaced around him including another pretty good post player Lake Reid and they are playing a lot better. Earlier in the season they had some injuries and guys who were sick so its going to be a tough game for sure but if we can speed the game up a little bit and get them into foul trouble I like our chances because I don’t think they are very deep,” said DCHS Tiger Coach John Sanders.

WJLE will have LIVE coverage of the game with the Voice of the Tigers John Pryor. Listen for Tiger Talk prior to the game at 7:15 p.m. with John Pryor interviewing Coach Sanders and Tiger player Kylan Rhea.

The Lady Tigers, seeded 4th, will meet Cannon County Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. at Watertown. Cannon County defeated Smith County Monday night in the tournament 60-31.

It’s time to purchase your new hunting and fishing license. The new 2020-21 Tennessee hunting and fishing licenses are now on sale, with over one million licenses expected to be purchased in the coming year. All current yearly Tennessee hunting and fishing licenses expire Feb. 29.

Licenses are available online anytime at www.GoOutdoorsTennessee.com, on the TWRA “On the Go App,” or at one of more than 700 license agents across the state. You can now select to auto-renew your license and never worry about your license expiring again. Customers can also purchase new design of the collector’s card for any annual license. This waterproof, durable card features paintings by Tennessee artist Abraham Hunter. Customers may choose between two new designs, a brook trout or a pair of gobblers.

If you like wildlife of any kind, you should thank a hunter or fisherman. Without them, we would not have the abundance of fish and wildlife that Tennesseans all enjoy.

Hunters and anglers have been funding Tennessee’s and the nation’s wildlife conservation for more than100 years through license purchases. One-hundred percent of hunting and fishing license fees go to support wildlife conservation in Tennessee. What’s more, a license purchase returns taxes paid on firearms, archery equipment, fishing gear and boat fuel to Tennessee at a rate of up to $40 per year so a license purchase is a great investment. This successful funding system is the Wildlife and Sportfish Restoration program which is the largest driver of wildlife conservation nationwide. Support Tennessee wildlife and buy your 2020-21 licenses now!
