The Tigers Basketball season came to a quick end Saturday night against Whitfield Academy. The defending state champs jumped on the Tigers from the get go and poured it on thereafter.
This Commerce team had one of the best seasons ever though. So the team should be proud of that fact. Also next season there are a lot of returning starters. That fact along with the new gym opening up at the end of this year (I believe), has the future looking bright for the Tigers.

The Tigers gained the lead over St Francis in the final minute to advance to round 3. Commerce won over St. Francis (52-48) and hit about six free throws in a row down the stretch, played great help defense in the paint and full court pressure defense forcing about three turnovers in the last two minutes.
Tyler Gamble, Anthony Norris and Greg Hayes were great on the free throw line in the final four minutes of the game.
The entire team played great especially in the second half when the offense came alive.
According to Wjjc this is the first time they’ve reached the third round since Rodney Gary’s team made the final four….. Decades ago.
They play Friday night in Marietta. The opponent is either #1 Whitfield Academy or Paideia. Commerce is playing with house money now so the pressure is on their opponents.
