The Packers were down 2 with 1.6 seconds left on the clock. Oman grabbed the rebound off the missed free throw and threw it the length of the court as time expired to give Austin a 56-55 win. The Packer fans rushed the court as the crowd erupted! Northfield’s fans stood in disbelief as the team mobbed Oman! The win moves Austin to 4-0 on the year. Austin will have another big test on Friday when Rochester John Marshal comes to town.Click here to watch the Video on Youtube!

Metro.co.UK a site from the United Kingdom
Rippa.com (some random website from overseas, the write up is hillarious. “Northfield had a chance to seal the win with a free throw but old mate fluffed his shot. The ball landed into the hands of top bloke Oman and he immediately launched the ball downcourt.”)
To coin a Yogism, “It’s never over til it’s over.” Congrats to Austin.
