\nBishop Guilfoyle had leads of 10-8 at the end of the opening quarter and 23-20 at the half, but the Golden Eagles were definitely in the ballgame, despite numerous turovers.
\n\u201cWe finally put together a full, complete game,\u201d explained Tyrone first-year coach George Gripp. \u201cBut we had too many turnovers. In the first half, we had 12 or 13. we were in the game, but should have had the lead.\u201d
\nTyrone actually took the lead at the end of three full quarters 36-34, after outscoring BG 16-11, behind Matt Brooks, who led the Eagles with 11 points and Catich who scored nine points.
\n\u201cMatt\u2019s confidence is growing with each game,\u201d commented Gripp about Brooks, a 6-foot junior. \u201cHopefully that will pay off as the season moves along.\u201d
\nBishop Guilfoyle challenged every pass and every shot in a pivotal fourth quarter however, holding the Golden Eagles to just eight points, while putting 19 of their own on the scoreboard.
\n\u2018The kids put it all on the floor. The effort was definitely there,\u201d Gripp said. \u201cWe\u2019ll build from this. That\u2019s the kind of effort we need every time out. If we are able to compete like this in every game, we will beat a lot of teams down the road.\u201d
