The back to back appearances are the first since 1987 and 1988. And the Tigers proved they are up to the task, winning the final game in a blowout.
Mangum faced Apache in the first game on Thursday and got off to a shaky start. After setting Apache down in order in the top of the first Mason Toole reached base when the Apache catcher dropped the ball on the third strike. He stole 2nd and 3rd, then scored on a single by Kolby Miller to take a 1-0 lead.
Apache tied the game in the top of the 3rd, but Mangum regained the lead in the bottom of the inning when Logan Hamilton reached on an error, moved to 2nd on a fielder’s choice and to 3rd on a passed ball. Hamilton scored on a single by Miller and the Tigers had a 2-1 advantage.
Apache tied the game again with a run in the top of the 4th and the scored remained tied 2-2 until the bottom of the 6th. With one out Miller drew a walk and Jarred Stockton followed with a homerun over the left field fence for the game winner as the Tigers moved to the winner’s bracket with a 4-2 victory.

Last February the Mangum Tigers hosted the Merritt Oilers in a regular season basketball game. But this particular game had special meaning for Mangum coach, Jeff Carlisle. For the past few years Mangum has participated in the Coaches Vs. Cancer game to raise funds for cancer research. In December 2008 Coach Carlisle’s mother, Vickie Kenney was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away in November 2009. The Coaches Vs. Cancer game against Merritt was played in her honor. Mangum raised over $3,000 and won 2nd in the state. Bethel School placed first with their effort. Shown with the 2nd place trophy is Coach Carlisle with his two sons Zach and Ryan.
