CLAXTON — A raucous crowd turned up at the Pecan Grove to cheer on the Claxton Tigers as they hosted their first playoff game in over a decade. Unfortunately for the Tigers and their faithful, Dooly County proved to be a bit too much, claiming a 29-24 victory Friday night in the first round of the Class A public school state playoffs. The Tigers (7-4) battled back from a deficit to tie the game at 15-15 at halftime and — after falling behind late — forced two Bobcat fumbles in the second half, but were unable to pull ahead.
