CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Carroll Tigers proved they were the team that could take down state-ranked Veterans Memorial, topping the Eagles during district play and then again in the third round of the playoffs Tuesday night.
The Tigers overcame a slow start to beat Vets Memorial in overtime 50-45 and advance to their second regional tournament in three years. Carroll will face seventh-ranked S.A. Veterans Memorial Friday at 5:30 PM at North East ISD's Littleton Gym in San Antonio.
The 19th-ranked Flour Bluff Lady Hornets were topped by fellow district champion Victoria West 50-48 in a game that also went to overtime. The Lady Hornets were denied a return trip to state after reaching the final four last season.
