Tigers ground Cardinals in State Tournament semi-finals

The Columbus Lady Cardinals playoff journey came to an end in the semi-finals of the State Tournament for the third straight year when they were defeated by the Gunter Tigers on Thursday, Nov. 16, in Garland.

The Lady Cards pushed the defending champions to their very limit but in the fifth and final set the Tigers were able to secure a victory and eliminate the Lady Cards.

“I just want to keep the spotlight on these girls for as long as I can, especially the seniors because they will be missed so much,” Lady Cards head coach Kayley Johns said while wiping away a tear.
