The best thing about BFA-St. Albans’ buzzer-beating, 49-47 win over Missisquoi on December 23rd wasn’t the shock of MVU roaring out to a double-digit lead in the first half.

It wasn’t the absurdity of 17-year olds making late free throws while their parents nearly went into cardiac arrest in the stands, or even the sight of Kam Dunsmore darting between defenders and selflessly dropping a pass to Nick Voyer for the game-winning baseline lay-up.
