Missing key freethrows down the stretch, the Troup Lady Tigers lost their first district game Tuesday night against Tatum.

The contest was closer than the 50-39 score indicates, as the Lady Eagles got several trips to the charity stripe in the final two minutes of play.

The Lady Tigers were led by Janna Ross with 14 points and 8 rebounds, Alysha Barton with 9 points and Abby Darden 7.
