Chasing the Championship

Your Tex Hill Tiger basketball teams continue to chase the district championship. Both your
7th and 8th grade Tiger basketball teams came out victorious last Thursday night
against a tough Garner team. Your Tigers remain undefeated in district play as they
head into a non-conference game this week before a two week hiatus. You may view
the basketball results here.
Please join us Thursday night for The Battle for Bulverde (Basketball edition) as your 8th
Grade Tigers host Tejeda MS and your 7th grade Tigers as they travel to Tejeda to face the
Timberwolves.
Also, this weekend your Tiger basketball teams participated in the A/B Tournaments. Your
7th grade Tigers traveled to Harris MS for their tournament and your 8th grade Tigers
traveled to Bush MS for their tournament. All the teams fought and played hard and were
tested this weekend against some quality opponents. Your 7th grade B-Team came home
with a Consolation Trophy.

Coaches Corner
Over the last couple of weeks there have been incidents regarding inappropriate spectator
behavior reported throughout the district. Incidents such as, spectators degrading basketball
officials, spectators engaging in verbal altercations with opposing teams fans, and spectators
refusing to abide by NEISD policies regarding spectator behavior and becoming argumentative
with campus Administrators. As we gear up for another week of competition, I would like to
encourage the Tiger Nation to the set the example of a positive and supportive fan base at Tex Hill
MS. As stated in the Tex Hill MS Athletic Policy, Be an enthusiastic Tex Hill fan. Always display
the class and pride for which we are known. Degrading of any player or referee is not
representative of the Tex Hill tradition. Also, please remember that Referees/Officials may
penalize any team for spectator behavior. Lets show the district why Tex Hill MS is the best. We
are the best because of you, The Tiger Nation. Thank you for all you do!
