A Jaw Dropping Victory

Mason vs. Davidson

Mason homecoming seems to have had a great turnout, the stadium was packed. I do not remember ever seeing so many fans in the audience. Mason’s Men’s basketball team was leading the entire first half until Davidson rallied back for a five point lead. At this point, everyone looked nervous because of thought that Mason was going to lose their homecoming game. But soon enough, good defense and two great offensive plays left Mason with a chance to gain back the lead. 46 seconds left. Mason was down by one. 2 seconds left. This had everyone on there tip toes as you could see fans coming to their feet for the last second to go. Davidson took the ball down the court to try and steal the game. The opponent took the shot which looked very much like it was going in. Luckily, the ball hit the back of the rim. Now, Mason had the rebound. The patriots rushed the ball up the floor to try and score because they were down by one. Mason took the shot but missed and tried to tip in, but the ball did not go in again. The clock was running down, but Mason had the chance to get an offensive rebound which they did. The ball was put up again and Mason scored! Everyone was celebrating but not realizing that there were still milliseconds on the clock, providing a chance for the other team to score. Fortunately, Davidson tried to take a half court shot for the win but missed. The Mason homecoming game was nerve-wracking and breath taking but without a doubt, it was an exciting game for the homecoming fans.
