Tryon Boys Win
Regionals
(Beat Edneyville)
The Tryon boys earned a return
trip to the State 1A Basketball
finals with a 67-56 win over
Edneyville Saturday night in the
Western Regionals at Bryson
City.
Things didn’t look too good for
the Tigers as Edneyville jumped
out to a 12-6 lead. Tryon cut it to
12-10 by the end of the quarter. By
the end of the first half Tryon had
gone out front 25-20.
Edneyville scored the first
basket in the second half, but the
Tigers then proceeded to score
eight unanswered points and
broke the game open.
Leading the Tryon scoring
were Tony Cunningham with 29
points, followed by Roger Nelon
with 14 points and Tommy Hill
with 11 points.
Edneyville was paced by Pat
Station with 19 points and Keith
Pryor with 15 points.
Tryon’s Coach Mike Pearson
said that it was unbelieveable
that the Tryon boys would be
going to the state finals again this
year. He said the team got off to a
slow start but hung on and then
had a great third quarter. He
thought that Tony Cunningham
had the best game that he had
ever played. Coach Pearson said
that his floor play was more
important than the 29 points he
scored, as he made steals,
excelled on defense and was the
leading rebounder.
This was the fourth time that
