2007/2008 Basketball A New Era Continues T
Greetings, On behalf of the Administration, basketball players, and Tyrone community, the coaching staff would like to welcome you to to-night’s event. Our athletes are striving to continue both the ath-letic and academic traditions at Tyrone Area High School. Our program could not be where it is without the support of the community. Please take the time to read the ads, thank the patrons for their support and utilize their services whenever you are able. At Tyrone, sportsmanship is an expectation so please let the players play. Let the coaches coach. Let the officials officiate. Let the spectators be positive. We are looking forward to a hard fought, clean and wholesome competition. Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, The Tyrone Coaching Staff
