Although the stats did not show, Mason Emigh forced many turnovers and got the ball to others to score. Emigh only plays the first half for the junior varsity team.

“I like how the team is improving and playing every week and the defense intensity is great.” Junior Billy Rudden said.

Rudden added 11 points to the scoreboard as junior Brayden Parsons also totaled 11 as well.

Tyrone came out in their man-press to open the game. The defense was very effective and forced multiple BEA turnovers which Tyrone turned into points in transition.

“The press defense created our offense because of the pressure and the steals we were able to create.” said leading scorer Carter Gwinn.
