The Hartselle Tigers led for 27 seconds Friday night. That's 27 seconds longer than the team did the first go around with the Golden Eagles.
Hartselle fell to 9-7 with a 77-62 loss to Athens. Prior to the Christmas break, Hartselle fell to then top-ranked and undefeated Athens.
The Lady Tigers also fell, 73-32.

Athens responded with another run, this time a 10-0 rally to take a 27-15 lead.
