A clash of West Central Conference powers unfolded Tuesday night at the MAHS gym. Homecoming week spirit filled the cavernous place. The spirit was buoyed by the 5-0 record the Tigers owned coming in. But look, Sauk Centre had similar credentials. Something would have to give.
The first two games went the way of the Streeters by scores of 25-22 and 25-12. Undaunted, the Tigers summoned new resolve and made this a most interesting match. The orange and black took games 3 and 4 by identical 27-25 scores. Game 5 would decide it all. Alas, this match would not go into the win column for the Tigers. Sauk took the deciding game 15-13.
Sauk came out of the night with a 12-2 overall record, 6-0 in conference. MACA has the still-sterling record of 10-1, 5-1.
