A four-game winning streak has the Caldwell County Lady Tigers back over the .500 mark for the first time in over a month.
Caldwell’s girls shook off a slow start offensively Tuesday night to post a 39-17 victory at Webster County.
That gives the Lady Tigers a 12-11 mark heading into their regular-season finale Friday night at home against Livingston Central. A win over the Lady Cardinals would guarantee Caldwell a winning season.
