Campbellsport got a big block shot by Gonnering with one minute left when the Foxes seemed to have a clear path to the hoop, which could have sealed the game for Omro.
The block was the start of great defensive plays by the Cougars’ team defense in the last minute of the game.
“The guys never quit when it mattered the most in the game when they dug even deeper with our defense amped up by creating a lot of chaos,” said Head Coach Ethan Elliott.
Following a Luke Pendowksi free throw, the Cougars' defensive full-court pressure got back-to-back steals which were converted into layups by Schladweiler and Gonnering to tie the game at 60 with 22.8 left in the game.
The Cougars were able to get a stop on the defensive end when Cullen Reis saved the ball by the sideline right by the Omro bench and got the ball into the hands of Goebel to start the Cougars’ offensive push up the court.
Goebel gave a great pass ahead to find a streaking Schladweiler down the right-hand side of the court with the final seconds ticking down on the clock.
Schladweiler gathered the pass in and proceeded to finish the final play of the game with a layup for the Cougars to beat the final buzzer to give Campbellsport a thrilling 62-60 victory to sweep the season series against their Flyway Conference foe, Omro.
“Cullen, Jace, and Trent all demonstrated a lot of poise on the save-and-run out after the defensive possession. Everything was happening fast but they were under control,” said Elliott. “I was happy for the guys to win a close game. Seeing how happy the boys were after the win will be a memory they will never forget.”
Noah Bobb’s 18 points and Trent Schladweiler’s 14 points led the way for Campbellsport’s dramatic win.
