The Terrell Lady Tiger soccer program entered the playoffs riding high, having gone 13-1-1 over the season’s final 15 games. That closing flourish was enough to give the Lady Tigers their first-ever district title in a loaded field that also included Mabank, Kaufman, A+ Academy, Sunnyvale, Ferris, Kemp and Athens.

The Terrell Tigers continued their push for a spot in this year’s 4A UIL Playoffs last week, hitting the field twice in key District 13-4A showdowns against Nevada Community and Sunnyvale. Terrell would ultimately drop both contests, watching their overall district mark drop to 0-5 with seven games left to play.

The Terrell track and field program faced one of its stiffest tests of the season last week, traveling to compete at the Garland Relays March 24. Terrell would go on to finish 14 th overall out of qualifying teams in the men’s varsity division in a field that also included Naaman Forest, Mesquite Horn, Highland Park, West Mesquite, North Mesquite and others.

The Terrell Lady Tigers have been a team on a mission during district play, entering last week with a 3-0 mark following wins over Caddo Mills, Kaufman and Nevada Community. Terrell would continue to play well last week, outdueling Quinlan Ford in an extra inning thriller before falling short against district-leading Farmersville March 29.
