Tyrek Turner scored 19 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for Tallassee during its first area win of the season.

Tyrek Turner has gotten used to walking away from the court holding a plaque. After winning the area tournament Most Valuable Player as a sophomore in 2018, Turner started making a habit of it during his junior season.

Tallassee participated in three in-season tournaments and Turner was named to the all-tournament team in all three. He walked away with the MVP award during Tallassee’s Lions Club Tournament and the Elmore County Tournament at Wetumpka.
