Global Listening Option for State Tournament

19 Mar

We plan to have a huge contingent from Austin traveling to Williams Arena for the Packers’ game against St. Paul Johnson on Wednesday. Those from the Austin area who can’t attend can catch all the action live on AM 1480, KAUS.

But what about those Packer fans and alumni who no longer live in the Austin area?

The answer is at myaustinminnesota.com. Just click the link to go there at noon CDT on Wednesday, hover over the Programming tab and then click Webcam.

 

When the “Voice Vision” window pops up, click the Play button to listen to the live stream:

Crowd-Sourcing the Alley Oop

18 Mar

Tom Aase’s game-winning Alley-Oop dunk as time expired was a prime example of the teamwork needed for success in basketball. It was made possible by everyone on the floor playing their part:

  • Tom Aase inbounding to Goliath Oboyo who passed to Nate Schwab
  • Schwab passing to Tom in the corner and taking the return pass and rotating the ball back to Zach Wessels,
  • Joe Aase flashing toward the high post as a decoy, and
  • Tom Aase cutting past the back screen from Oboyo and taking the perfect pass from Wessels to win it.

All of this was expertly choreographed by Packer Head Coach Kris Fadness, and now his son Zach – a co-captain on last-year’s team – has put together a synchronized video of that play from various sources that lets you see the play from every angle. You’ll definitely want to go Full Screen for this one:
