Memorable Dublin High Boys Basketball Season Ends
Dublin High made an incredible comeback to take the game into overtime, but eventually lost to College Park on Saturday.
A frantic Dublin High comeback in the final minute of regulation took the NorCal final into overtime, but College Park outscored the Gaels in the extra session to bring an end to a historic Dublin season on Saturday, the Conta Costa Times reports.
The Gaels were down seven with 49.1 seconds left, but tied the score when Spencer Hollie drove to the bucket, got fouled and made a shot to tie the score at 83 with 1.2 seconds left.
He missed the free throw and in overtime College Park's Peter Schoemann hit a 3-pointer with less than eight seconds left to give the Falcons a 93-90 victory at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento.

I'm very, very pleased with our comeback...We did everything we could. We're a free throw and a friendly roll away from the state championship. I have nothing but positive thoughts about that game.
