\"\"<\/a><\/td>\nTyrone girls basketball coach Luke Rhoades learned enough in his first season to know that an ugly win is better than a pretty loss any day.
\nSo although the Lady Eagles struggled last night in their season-opener at Huntingdon, shooting just 33 percent and turning the ball over 20 times, Rhoades has no plans to exchange his team\u2019s 51-48 victory for style points.
\nIt makes sense, especially when you consider that \u2013 late in the fourth quarter \u2013 the Lady Eagles earned their win. Forced to come back from a five-point deficit, Tyrone shot its way out a jam, connecting on 6 of 10 shots in the last frame. Then, when trying to seal the game in the final minute from the foul line, the Lady Eagles controlled the boards, pulling down three offensive rebounds on three missed free throws to maintain possession of the ball and run clock.
\n\u201cWe needed to be mentally tough,\u201d said Rhoades. \u201cI thought we went hard the entire game, except for a 30 second span in the third quarter, when we turned the ball over and they got some lay-ups.\u201d
\nThe half-minute Rhoades referred to started right after starting point guard Rachel Emigh picked up her fourth foul with 3:23 left in the third quarter. At the time, the Lady Eagles had their largest lead of the game at 33-27, but Emigh was called for a charge on a move to the basket.
\nWith her gone, Tyrone turned the ball over on three straight possessions, and the Lady \u2018Cats evened the score with 2:22 left in the third.
\nIt was 37-35 in the fourth after Lindsey Christine sank a jump shot from the wing, but a 7-0 Huntingdon run gave the Lady \u2018Cats a 42-37 lead at the 6:00 mark.
\nRhoades reinserted Emigh with 5:32 left in the game, and the sophomore\u2019s impact was immediate. She scored on consecutive possessions \u2013 once on a lay up and once on a jumper \u2013 to pull Tyrone within 44-43.
\nChristine then gave Tyrone the lead with a steal and a basket, but Huntingdon went on top 47-46 with just over a minute to play on two foul shots from Kelly Scott. That was when senior Kassie Faretta \u2013 who missed most of the game herself after picking up two fouls early in the first quarter \u2013 popped open for a three pointer that made it 49-47 and forced Huntingdon to foul when the Lady Eagles took possession.
\n\u201cWe definitely got into foul trouble there in the third,\u201d said Rhoades. \u201cWhen Rachel went down, we took a step back. It was hard getting the ball up the court. But Brook Garbinsky stepped in and did a nice job for us there, and Kayla Corle made some big shots.\u201d
\nCorle made just one foul shot in the fourth quarter, but it was her shooting through the first three periods that kept Tyrone in command. She scored 10 in the second quarter alone as the Lady Eagles built a 25-21 lead.
\nIn the third, when the Lady Eagles\u2019 were hanging on by a thread with their floor general sidelined, her jump shot from the corner gave the Lady Eagles a two-point lead after Huntingdon had tied it.
\n\u201cWe wanted her to have the ball in her hands at the end,\u201d said Rhoades of Corle. \u201cShe played very well and she shot well. Now we need her to do that every night.\u201d
\nEven when Corle missed the back end of a one-and-one, her teammates were there to pick her up. Christine cleaned up Corle\u2019s miss and was fouled immediately with 18.9 seconds left. Her foul shot was long, but sophomore Mara Hawes came away with the board, leading to a pair of Emigh foul shots.
\nWhen Emigh missed her second attempt, Corle grabbed the board.
\n\u201cWe rebounded very well,\u201d said Rhoades. \u201cLindsey did a nice job on the boards, and I was really pleased with Mara Hawes, in her first varsity game, and how well she rebounded.\u201d
\nCorle finished with a team-high 19 points, while Emigh had 15.
\nBrittany McNeal led all scorers with 24 points.
\nJUNIOR VARSITY
\nAshley Ford scored eight points to lead Tyrone\u2019s jayvees, but the Lady Eagles made just 5 of 17 free throws in a 34-32 loss.
