“I felt like we played loose and played as a team tonight,” Straughn head coach Daniel Rodgers said. “We knew coming in that Opp was going to be a tough opponent. We knew we would have to come in playing on all cylinders, and for the most part I felt like we did that.”

With the victory, the Lady Tigers earn the right to host next month’s area tournament.
