Tyrone traveled to Bellefonte on Tuesday night for a Mountain League Class AAA basketball game against the Lady Raiders of Bellefonte. The Lady Raiders lived up to their mascot\u2019s name, upsetting the Tyrone girls when Megan Farrington nailed a buzzer-beater from just inside the foul line to lift Bellefonte to a stunning 58-57 victory over the Lady Eagles.
\nBellefonte notched a two-point lead with a 16-14 first quarter margin and carried that margin (30-28) into the locker room at halftime with the teams each scoring 14 points in the second quarter.
\nTyrone tried to put the Lady Raiders away, jumping up by five with a 20-13 third quarter scoring margin. With a 48-43 lead, Tyrone was unable to hold the advantage in the end however, thanks to Farrington\u2019s last second heroics.
\nThe Lady Eagles\u2019 Amber DelBaggio hit a running layup with what Tyrone coach Jim Swaney thought was one second remaining in the game to put his Eagles up 57-56. The officials put three seconds up on the clock however, and Farrington got the inbounds pass and raced up the court for her game-winning bucket.
\n\u201cThey ran a nice play,\u201d Swaney said. \u201cShe made a nice play at the end.\u201d
\nJoanna Turner led Tyrone with 19 points, Marie DelBaggio added 15 and Amber DelBaggio had 10. Farrington led all scorers with a game-high 25.
\n\u201cThis was a game we were supposed to win,\u201d lamented Swaney. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to have a good year, you have to beat the teams you\u2019re supposed to beat. But give Bellefonte credit, they played well. I just think our intensity was not where we wanted it to be.\u201d
