This Corsicana Tigers Sports Minute is brought to you by Community National Bank
Soccer and basketball seasons are underway at Corsicana High School, with both programs looking to gain momentum as district play heats up.
The Tiger boys soccer team has started 3-1, including a 5-1 victory over Mansfield Timberview Tuesday. Chris Velasquez led the charge with a hat trick and added assists on the other two goals. Corsicana opened last week at the Forney Tournament with a 2-1 record and is now competing in the Waco Tournament, which began Thursday and runs through Saturday.
Lady Tiger soccer is still searching for consistency. They tied China Spring 2-2 Tuesday, hoping to rebound after going winless in the season-opening Waco LaVega tournament. The Lady Tigers will host Jacksonville Friday at 6:30 p.m.
Basketball is also in full swing. Tiger boys are 4-11 overall and 1-1 in District 15-5A following a 41-36 win over Kaufman Tuesday. Lady Tiger basketball sits at 6-11 and 1-3 in district play after a 59-41 loss to Kaufman. Both teams will travel to Midlothian Friday for district matchups.
