CLAXTON — A year after winning its first region title in a decade, Claxton is intent to prove that last season was no fluke. The Tigers (13-4, 6-1 Region 3E-A) kept their spot at the top of the region standings by utilizing some big runs in taking down Portal 67-42 Saturday night. With the win, Claxton inched closer to clinching a first round bye in the region tournament which would mean one less postseason win is necessary for a repeat title.
