On Tuesday, Jan. 23 Greenville hit the road to face the Luverne Tigers and defeated them handily 69-35. Martin was top in scoring again with 26 points.

Wednesday and Thursday gave the Tiger’s a break with them back on the road again last Friday to face the Brewbaker Rams for the second time in one week. It was another nail-biting game for the Tigers but won 65-63. It was Romontez Rhodes turn to shine as leading scorer with 17 points and Martin not far behind with 10 points.

Saturday evening’s game proved to be another close game for the Tigers as they hosted the Charles Henderson Trojans. The long week proved too much for Greenville as the lost 69-60. Malik Bunch led the Tigers with 13 points. Rhodes had 11 points with Jeremiah Owens right behind him with 10 points.
