Snyder Tigers Poised After District 3 AAA Poll
Snyder High School coach Speedy Moffett calls the 3-AAA poll ranking of third “about right” while predicting the Tigers must beat the district winner to claim the title. The team has shown improved offense in recent doubleheaders against Class 4A schools, swinging into double figures in hits. A separate note recalls Ralph McGill’s restraint and influence, and a local discussion on the value of the Scurry County Coliseum to the community.
