LAKE ARTHUR – The Lake Arthur Tigers suffered a close defeat at the hands of the Church Point Bears at “Nookie” Moore Gymnasium by a final of 42-38. The two teams were close going into the third quarter, however a dry spell allowed Church Point to take a lead that would ultimately decide the game. Lake Arthur used a furious rally in the fourth to close the gap, however it would not be enough to win the low-scoring affair. The loss dropped the Tigers to 8-7 overall on the season. The Tigers were back in action Tuesday night when they played host to the 5A Sam Houston Broncos in a non-district tilt.
