CLASS OF 2014
CLASS OF 2014
Tylen was a three year letter-woman for the Falcons. Ty was another of the Falcons unsung heroes during a very successful time period, she did a lot of the dirty work inside rebounding and defending the paint defensively. A ferocious competitor who averaged 6.0 ppg, 13.6 rebounds per game, and 2.8 steals per game for her career as a Falcon. One of the Falcons team captains as a senior, Ty brought a ferocity to the gym with her for every contest - and her teammates fed off of this energy. Younger sister Reina who was a standout track & field 400 meter runner also teamed up with big sis for one year on the basketball team - Ty was a soph while Rein was a freshman. Ty was also a tremendous student, a leader in the classroom who was selected as student school board representative as a senior. An honor student who graduated with highest honors, another one of those great kids that have come through the program whose parents gave her a rock solid foundation to achieve her dreams. Upon graduation Tylen received a full academic scholarship to attend Azusa Pacific University, where she is currently a third year undergrad student.
