Holmes’ loss appears to be Mason County’s gain. Last season for the Bulldogs, Tye averaged 12.5 points per contest. Tye will join a Royals team that compiled 18 victories – including 13 on its home court  – in 2023-24. One can count on Tye to go at defenders en route to the rim with regularity. The possibility of drawing contact? No issue. That only means she will get opportunities at the free throw line. Tye’s breakthrough eighth grade campaign with Holmes segued into her running on the travel realm with Kentucky Blue Devils and that experience playing AAU will surely translate into a stellar freshman season and her first with her new team in Mason County.
