\"\"<\/a>The annual Tyrone Area High School All-Sports Senior Recognition Night was held on Tuesday, May 27, at the Tyrone High School cafeteria. Special recognition was given to senior members of the varsity athletic teams.
\nOur seniors have attended many practices, events and participations over the past six years to get to this point. Now they are getting ready for their futures, whatever and wherever that may be.
\nThey have endured hot and cold, wet and dry, sunlight and shadow. Some have stood on the victory platform and had their efforts and performances heralded by the media and fans, while others have stood apart from the limelight and seldom had their names mentioned. Each one has given his or her all and gone beyond. Each had weathered personal storms as well as individual aches and pains. We owe to each of our senior athletes much more than an adoring public. They are our children, our neighbors, our heroes and most importantly, the future. They should be measured not by their statistics, or amount of wins, but by their hearts. By their willingness to block, or pass or hand off to those whose names we shout is the measure. In the still quiet sound following a loss, every bit as much as the roar after a victory or for those, who sat on the bench and didn\u00b9t quite make it into the game. These young men and young women we salute with awards and scholarships and recognition are what high school athletics are all about. Rest assured the Class of 2008 Scholar\/athletes have done their absolute best to add to the lure and history, to be included in the Honor Roll of Golden Eagles who have gone before, and those who will follow.
\nAll seniors who had participated for three years in a varsity sport and lettered one year were presented with senior watch awards.
