An action-packed IM basketball season was climaxed as 1A pulled out a stunning victory over TKD to claim the championship. In doing so 1A left behind them the ‘‘can’t win the big one”’ plague and came through in the clutch. Because 1A, AO and DSP were tied in a race for two playoff berths, a toss of the coin decided that AO would advance and 1A and DSP must fight it out for the final spot. 1A came through with a one point victory. The next night 1A butted heads with 3A and were again victorious. This set the stage for the TKD-1A showdown. Though TKD led most of the game, 1A tied it up by scoring four points in the final twelve seconds. A last shot at the buzzer fell through the basket to win the game for 1A. In the consolation contest AO, whose major team championship string ended at eight, defeated 3A. 189
