SHADY SPRING, W.V. (LOOTPRESS) – Following the defeat of the Westside High Renegades, the Shady Spring Tigers Varsity Basketball team takes home the Region III Section 1 championship for the first time in 20 years. The Tigers won 85-50.
Lootpress spoke with Head Coach Ronnie Olson, who commended his team for reaching this milestone, especially in the midst of a global pandemic.
“It was great to see all the hard work pay off after all COVID stuff that has went on,” he said, detailing how his team “stayed hungry” this season.
“We always want to dictate tempo and make teams play uncomfortable. We said if we lock in on what we do best, we felt there was nothing they could to beat us.”
According to Olson, the Tigers will step onto their home court on Tuesday, April 27, to host the Region III finals and fight for the chance to go to states.
