As the clock slowly dropped towards zero, the Hanover crowd descended into a frenzy.
Holding a 49-38 lead in the Division 3 state championship
over Palmer, Indians' point guard JP Landry dished a pretty pass to Matt
Delahunt, who corralled the swing pass and knocked down a dagger three-pointer.
Soon, the all-too cliché chants from the Indians faithful
ensued, while guard Aaron Boise helplessly tried to calm them down until the
final buzzer sounded.
As the clock hit zero, the Indians’ bench rushed to embrace
the stars that got them there, and their coach Nick Hannigan to celebrate the first boys' basketball state championship in school history.
Yet one look at the roster from that state
championship Saturday, and it is to the surprise of no one that the Indians are right back less than a year later with the opportunity to do it all over again.
