Devine was simply en fuego from the floor the last two ball games as they rung up 154 points in their victories over Laredo Martin and Jourdanton. The Horses gave Tony and the rest of the Tigers all they could handle winning easily 83-67 then smoked the Indians 71-37 this past Saturday, a game in which each player got at least a two-point mark by their name in the scorebook.
