Tigers travel to Texas

By Jake McCoy

The 2025 DeQuincy Fighting Tigers football team will start their preseason this Thursday Aug. 21. They’ll head across the Sabine River and hop on I-10 to Winnie, Texas where they’ll face the Class 3A East Chambers Buccaneers in a controlled scrimmage.

The Tigers have not played a football contest of any sort on Texas soil since week 5 of the 1981 season when the Tigers traveled to Evadale. The Pirates got the best of the Tigers that night by a final score of 14-7.

The Tigers return 6 starters on offense and 6 on defense and will look to match or exceed last year’s 9-2 record.

We encourage everyone to come on out to Winnie, Texas and support the Tigers!

Geaux Big Red!
