Picture/Moment of the Tournament:

With 5:30 remaining in the 4th quarter, Gahanna called timeout after some Northland pressure. Even with a 57-32 lead, some diehard fans believed that the Vikings could still make a run in the game. However, this back-door play called by Coach Staib sealed the deal, with a beautiful pass and an and one for Rob Brandenburg, the final piece of the regional championship puzzle was in place with this dunk.
