In the Section 6AA title game at Halenbeck Hall, St. Cloud Cathedral's Nick Schaefer hit an NBA three-pointer at the buzzer to lift his Crusaders team to the state tournament. It was a stunning ending to a game that EV-W appeared to have in hand. You can watch the ending and the epic shot at this website link: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/6863522/5aac8c71bed6d010b81be244.
Also, yesterday at the state tournament, Sauk Centre's girls' basketball team won the Class 2A state title after they beat defending state champion Roseau 63-52. With just over 10 minutes to go, the Mainstreeters (33-0) had a 49-28 lead. Things got real dicey in the final minutes, with the Rams coming back to within three points (55-52) with about two minutes left. Congratulations to Coach Scott Bergman and his program! They were 0-3 in state title games before yesterday.
