It was a tough week for Malakoff Lady Tiger basketball, and playoff hopes remain uncertain. The Lady Tigers fell to Quitman 46-39 on Thursday and then dropped a close contest at Edgewood, 35-32. Malakoff is now 14-16 overall and 4-4 in District 15-3A.
The Lady Tigers, Quitman and Grand Saline are battling for the final two playoff spots. One factor in Malakoff’s favor: a season sweep over Grand Saline. The team has a bye Tuesday before closing the regular season with two key games. Their first comes Friday against last-place Winona.
Malakoff Tiger basketball also has one game this week, Friday at Winona. The team faces a challenging road to the playoffs as it works to climb the district standings.
