In Tyrone’s first season in the Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference, eleven Tyrone athletes in four fall sports were named to LHAC all-conference teams.

Senior football players Braden Ewing and Brady Ronan were both first-team selections. Ewing was named to the first-team offense as a guard and first-team defense at tackle.

“Coming into my senior year I set goals and one of my biggest goals was to make all-conference for both sides of the ball. Fortunately, I was able to make that happen thanks to my teammates around me, and the hard work I put in all year,” said Ewing.

Ronan was named to the first-team defense as a defensive back.

The only other Tyrone sport to receive a first-team award winner was Williamsburg senior RJ Royer, who plays on the Tyrone golf team under a co-op agreement. Royer was named as one of the top eleven golfers in the conference.

Brady Ronan was also Tyrone’s only second-team selection at running back.

Tyrone had a total of eight athletes receive honorable mention in three sports.

For football, junior quarterback Ashton Walk, senior offensive tackle Jake Rice, junior linebacker Austin Lucas, junior defensive back Eli Woomer, and senior returner Dravyn Crowell were all named as football honorable mentions.

The boys’ soccer team had one selection on the offensive side, senior forward Rocky Romani.

“It was an honor, It felt like all the hard work I put in paid off this season,” Romani said.

Tyrone had two selections for volleyball, senior setter Madelyn Rockwell and junior outside libero Kylee Nelson.
