Two on one is a distinct advantage in a basketball fastbreak. Tyner’s girls showed Friday that two to one is a clear advantage in basketball, too.
Actually the Lady Rams slightly exceeded a two-to-one ratio in girls played against Meigs County in their Region 3-AA high school quarterfinal and defeated the Lady Tigers 63-44 at Tyner.

With the Lady Rams at full strength for the first time since before the District 5 tournament, 2:41 had elapsed Friday when Tyner coach Terrie Parks made a wholesale substitution.
“That’s a normal thing,” Parks said. “That’s what’s worked for us all year.”
