TIGER Coach CHRIS Pilz SAID ”We found another highly competitive game tonight. Borgia plays extremely hard and it took us until late in the fourth quarter before we could match their intensity. We did a lot of things well tonight. We will get back in practice on Wednesday and clean up our shot selection, ball control, defensive rotations. I think it was a good sign to see our guys fight to get back in the game after we faced adversity in the 3rd quarter. We will play a well coached Union team on Thursday night.”

NFL

The Kansas City Chiefs are on to their second consecutive Super Bowl after defeating the Buffalo Bills 38-24 in the AFC Championship Game, but they also suffered a big loss during the matchup. During a play in the fourth quarter, offensive tackle Eric Fisher went down with what appeared to be a leg injury while blocking Patrick Mahomes’ blind side. Later in the quarter, the Chiefs announced that Fisher was ruled out for the rest of the game with an Achilles injury. And while the significance of the injury was not revealed on Sunday night, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has reported that Fisher has suffered a torn Achilles. The injury will keep him from playing in Super Bowl LV.
