If any game played, that fateful/overcast/muggy day in August, were to go down in OSS history... It was the opening round playoff game between '00 and Team 80's.
I'll skip to the good part and let the on-site play-by-play announcer take over:
"And there's a steal by Bird! Underneath to DJ... he lays it in!! What a play by Bir..." Oops. Wrong game.
"Galardi brings the ball up the court... Dishes off to Woodbury... back to Galardi... He finishes off the glass! The class of 2000 has come out and backed up their #1 seed in these playoffs by jumping out to a 10-4 lead over the 80s team. Things are looking bleek for the 80's team.
But what's this? A mild breeze is starting to come from across the high school parking lot... are those the winds of change? Whatever they are, they seem to have awoken Sammy Dalman. Eyes squinting, teeth gnarled, he brings the ball up the court trailing by six. Dalman spots up, from 25 feet, good! My oh My what a shot by Dalman.
Beckwith brings the ball back up... and out of nowhere, there's Dalman again! He steals the ball, looks down low, shakes his head, spots up from 30...... Drain-O!!!! Dalman just banked in a 30 footer... 10-8!
Buckner tries to calm down 2k as he brings the ball up... he passes over to Woodbury... out to Marcy... 2 pointer... no good! Croley gets the rebound for the 80s team... downcourt to Dalman... back to Croley... here's Dalman, off-balance, off a 2 man screen from 22 ft... RAIN DANCE!!!! He nailed it. Tie game! Tie game! It's Pandemonium Larry!!!
2000 has got to be reeling... they've worked to get a 10-4 lead... and before you can say "Back Tap Back Tap" it's tied 10-10.
After a missed shot, 2000 brings the ball back down the court for the check up... wait, was that Schafer whispering something to Beckwith?? Good thing we've got audio on it: "Pass to me, I'll kick it back to you, and just f*#in' end it."
Beckwith out top with the inbound... over to Schafer... touch pass back to Beckwith... from beyond the arc... BOTTOMS!!! The class of 2000 holds on!
After shaking hands, both teams realize they've been part of history. They're now part of DeWitt/OSS lore for decades to come.
Phew... 6-0.
