The Smith-Cotton Tigers put on a clinic in last Friday’s 44-7 win over St. Pius X in Kansas City.
The Tiger defense limited the Warriors to 86 total yards, forced three turnovers — all in the secondary — garnered 12 tackles for a loss and didn’t allow any points (the Warriors’ lone score came on a fumble recovery in the second half).
