In the game against the Clearwater/Orchard team, Damian Summers led the Tigers with nine points, six rebounds and five assists, Jake Walton had eight points, Tad Fry eight points and Ben Ramold had six rebounds. The Ewing Tigers went 0-2 at the Cyclone Holiday Tournament over the Christmas break.  The Tigers lost a tough one to Elkhorn Valley that they led 63-51 after three quarters in round one, but the Tigers went cold in the fourth quarter and couldn’t buy a bucket while Elkhorn Valley’s defensive intensity forced many Tiger turnovers on the night.  The consolation game was much of the same as the Tigers led 22-9 after 10 minutes of play but only scored six points over the course of the next 17 minutes and couldn’t handle the Cyclones and lost 36-50.

“We have many areas in which we need to improve as a coaching staff and as a team.  We are turning the ball over too much, getting beat on the boards, and not handling tough situations in the game very well.  At times we are playing well, but our inconsistency throughout the course of the game is causing us problems.  We intend to get back to work in practice to improve our weaknesses and get better as we progress through the remainder of our schedule,” said Coach Appleby.
