Tigers show progress as Jones molds Ulysses youth
In Dodge City, coach Jason Jones’s mostly junior lineup led the Ulysses Tigers to a 59-53 overtime win over Newton at the Tournament of Champions, lifting their season record to 6-5. The five losses came to bigger schools and Derby, Wichita West, or Scott City earlier, with the coach noting continued improvement and defensive growth as the team transitions from a senior-led start to a junior-heavy core now in its third season. Garrett Kissell and Chris Oliver led scoring with 19 and 17 points respectively in the OT victory.
