“We played very well tonight,” said Tyrone junior varsity coach Darren Elvey. “We were finally able to put an entire game together in all phases of the game. I keep telling the guys we were not that far away despite our record.”
In the third quarter, if Lewistown had any thoughts about getting back in the game, The Eagles put that thought quickly and thoroughly out of their heads. First, Jimmy Weston ran five yards for the fourth score of the game, then Zach Gault plunged the final three yards of a march for another touchdown, Finally, Quinn Carter capped the scoring by covering six yards for a touchdown.
