LAKE ARTHUR — The Lake Arthur Tigers remained unbeaten for the season with a 21-19 statement win over the Iota Bulldogs in a non-district battle here Friday night. The Tigers are now 3-0 for the season and have been impressive in all three wins. “I told the team all week that this was a statement game for us,” stated Tiger Head Coach Cody Gueringer. “We don’t want to be pretenders to a successful season.

Tonight we made the statement that we are here to stay.”
