Prayers answered with buzzer-beater in national tournament
For National Association of Christian Athletes (NACA) teams, there's no bigger stage than the national finals. Last week, Szymon Walczak took full advantage.
With his Grundy Mountain (V.A.) Mission School and Our Savior (N.Y.) knotted at 58-58 with 1.5 seconds left in their first-round match-up, Walczak took an inbounds pass, turned, and launched an awkward shot towards the net.
The shot gave Mountain Mission the 61-58 win and a spot in the second round.

The school's Varsity B team also did well, finishing second in the Division II bracket.
