Tigers pull away from Pilot Point 54-16 for an 11th straight district championship

For the 11th season running, the District 5-3A Division I trophy stays in Gunter.

The Tigers beat Pilot Point 54-16 on senior night Thursday at Tiger Stadium, KTEN reported, in the game that decided this year's championship.

Pilot Point made a game of it for a quarter and a half. The Bearcats were ahead 14-10 with 7:41 left in the second quarter after a field goal and a 62-yard touchdown run, according to the Denton Record-Chronicle. Gunter answered with 40 unanswered points, and Pilot Point added a late touchdown to set the final score.

The win leaves Gunter 9-1 overall and 5-0 in district, the Record-Chronicle reported. The paper ranks the Tigers No. 3 in the state in Class 3A Division I.

Thursday's result also locked in the rest of the bracket for Pilot Point, which slipped to 7-3 and 3-2. The Bearcats are the district's third seed and will play Mexia in the bi-district round next week, with details to be announced.

Who the Tigers face in the first round, and where, was still to be announced early Friday.
