The Tigers led after the first quarter, 22-19, but lost the middle two quarters by a total score of 40-19 in their first road conference game of the season.

The Grizzlies made changes to the injury report on Wednesday, and it signaled that good news is soon on the way for the franchise. 

Penny Hardaway, Tyrese Hunter and Nicholas Jourdain spoke to reporters Wednesday about solving the Tigers’ turnover issue, the recent addition of midseason transfer Dante Harris and concerns regarding a potential snowstorm on the horizon.

South Florida coach Amir Abdur-Rahim, who spoke with Penny Hardaway ‘maybe once a week,’ died Oct. 24 at age 43.

Though PJ Haggerty is an All-American candidate and one of the biggest reasons for the No. 19 Tigers’ success, Coach Penny Hardaway thinks he can be even better.

The former ECS and Mississippi State standout and current Germantown resident batted .293 with 39 homers, 112 RBIs and a .927 OPS last season.

A summer spent on the EYBL circuit has helped the senior develop into a consistent double-double producer on one of the area’s better teams.

Volleyball players from Briarcrest, Northpoint and Houston selected all-state.

The Memphis big man has reached a new chapter in his career. Jackson has the power to play solo star when the Grizzlies need it.
