Tigers Show Heart in “Battle of the Delta” Season Finale

In a gritty season-ending match-up coined the "Battle of the Delta," the Coahoma Tigers fought until the final whistle but fell 30-15 to Mississippi Delta on Halloween night. 

The Trojans surged to an early lead, capitalizing on a first-quarter safety and three rapid touchdowns that had Coahoma trailing 23-0. 

Refusing to back down, the Tigers responded in the second quarter when quarterback Edwin Merriweather connected with Taj Colom for a 27-yard touchdown, igniting Coahoma's offense and bringing fans to their feet. 

The Trojans extended their lead in the third quarter, but Coahoma's defense remained relentless. 

Brenton Hall and Byron Keys anchored the defense, delivering crucial tackles and helping force turnovers that kept the Tigers within striking distance.

In the fourth quarter, Merriweather delivered another electrifying play, launching a 96-yard touchdown bomb to Deshaun Catron.

A successful two-point conversion by Merriweather capped the drive, showcasing the Tigers' fighting spirit even as time ran out. 

Despite the outcome, Coahoma's performance in the "Battle of the Delta" highlighted their resilience and growth.

With a determined group of players and high hopes for the offseason, the Tigers aim to come back stronger next year.
