A great Tyner Rams team charged into Carolyn Jackson & Robert High Gymnasium Saturday afternoon with their foreheads lowered.
And ram they did, 72-44
Kohl Ward Kohl Ward 5'9" | PG Tyner Academy | 2027 State TN played terrific, unsurprising after his consistently strong play all season, and yet remarkable because Ward is still a freshman guard.
The guard caught an outlet pass from Rodney Henderson Rodney Henderson 6'1" | PG Tyner Academy | 2025 State TN III in the second half and, despite encountering a defender upon the catch, almost instantly delivered the pill in-stride to a cutting teammate for an unchallenged layup.
Ward’s decision-making at full speed stood out even amongst players 2-3 years his senior.
Tyner held a convincing 60-34 lead after three full quarters.
We begin this 2nd half. Lefty layup, challenged by Kohl. 39-22 @TynerRamily leads. https://t.co/jWKmpuIGg0

Star guard Rodney Henderson Rodney Henderson 6'1" | PG Tyner Academy | 2025 State TN III, recently elevated to a new peak of #11 in 2025, drove the lane and rose to finish a lovely off-handed layup and-1.
Adarius Brewster Adarius Brewster 6'3" | SG Tyner Academy | 2025 State TN (Tynet played one of his better games all year. The wing burst into the lane, often attacking from the literal wing.
Late in the blowout Avery Ford finished a floating and-1, and his bench erupted in joy as Head Coach E.J. Ward played his youngest and least experienced varsity guys. Ford missed the ensuing free throw.
For Brainerd, Ashton Munson Ashton Munson 6'1" | PG Brainerd | 2024 State TN was aggressive and made his free throws. Still, the teams did not have equal talent or skill. Munson was probably the only Panther who would currently see minutes should the two teams merge into one [a thought exercise only]. Credit Munson with playing until the end, well after the score was frustratingly lopsided for him.
