Oakwood basking in biggest early-tournament upset
When the Oakwood and Fenwick boys basketball teams met in the regular season’s second game, Fenwick walked out a 71-40 winner.
Remembering that sting and trailing Fenwick 36-27 in the fourth quarter of a Division II first-round tournament game on Saturday, Feb. 27, the Lumberjacks made their mark. In the final few minutes, Oakwood outscored Fenwick 12-2 and got 2-of-3 free throws from senior Scott Feldmiller with 3 seconds left to beat Fenwick 39-38 and complete the most significant early-round upset of the boys or girls tournaments.
“There weren’t too many people I talked to who thought we had a prayer,” said Oakwood coach Paul Stone, whose team improved to 11-10 while knocking off 16-5 Fenwick.
The Lumberjacks advanced in the D-II tournament, the deepest in the area, to play at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Lebanon High School. Their reward if they win again? State-ranked Chaminade Julienne or reigning D-II state finalist Marshall, who meet in the 6 p.m. game before Oakwood-Wilmington.
“In our tournament, there aren’t any places to hide,” Stone said.
