On the road last week, the Lady Eagles went 1-1, losing to Clearfield 59-51, but bouncing back and topping Central 45-27.

On Wednesday night against Clearfield, Tyrone couldn’t seem to get in a rhythm and it cost them a Mountain League Championship.

We thought we could beat them before we even got there, but didn’t show up to play. Clearfield showed up to play and wanted to beat us, and it showed. It cost us our number one seed and a mountain league championship

— Sydney Shaw

Senior Sydney Shaw led Tyrone with 20 points and 5 3-pointers, while freshman Stephanie Ramsey registered 18 points and 6 3- pointers.

“We thought we could beat them before we even got there, but didn’t show up to play. Clearfield showed up to play and wanted to beat us, and it showed. It cost us our number one seed and a mountain league championship,” said Shaw.

Shots were not falling for the Lady Eagles and they were also not able to shut down Clearfield’s Alayna Ryan, giving her 31 points.

Although emotions were high after a tough loss, the Lady Eagles did not let it stop them on the following Friday win against Central.

Sydney Shaw led Tyrone once again with 21 points, while Ramsey followed with 19. Shaw and Ramsey combined for 10 3-pointers.

It was nice to not have to sit through a quiet bus ride on a Friday night. We all played as one and had fun while doing it. I think the loss did us some good and gave us a slap in the face, it’s just too bad we had to lose a mountain league title while doing it

“It felt good to be able to get a nice win after such a hard loss. The loss against Clearfield woke us up and we all won as a team. We were ready for revenge and everyone came ready to play that night,” said Shaw.
