fifth annual Bryan Chamber of

El Campo by a 51-37 margin, with
Bobby Jackson scoring 15 points
to lead Tiger scorers. High point

free throw with four seconds left
in the game to give the Tigers a
hard-earned 28-27 win over Bren-
ham.
With the score deadlocked at 27-

ball and played a stalling game
for a full minute and a half, wait
ing to get a last second shot at the
basket for the win.
Brenham’s Rost took a set shot
at the basket with five seconds
left and Jackson was fouled in the
