At the buzzer: A/4 narrowlydefeats 32nd AAMDC
STEPHEN BAACK
Monitor Staff 
Players from ABattery, 4th Terminal High AltitudeArea Defense Regiment, swept past 32nd Army Air andMissile Defense Command with a game-winning shot atthe buzzer in Monday night’s basketball game at MilamGym.A/4’s Brett Bernier saved his team at the last secondwith the shot, immediately after which he fell to theground and was tackled by his screaming teammates, tofinish off the game with a score of 47-46.“I feel great,” said Bernier. “It was the game-winningshot. I’m at a loss for words. It was a great team effort.”The game remained close throughout both 20-minutehalves, with the teams staying almost constantly within afew points of one another from start to finish.A/4 took command early with a strong start from teamcaptain Mike Whalen, who was responsible for 17 of the27 points his team scored in the first half – with all butone of Whalen’s goals being three-pointers. Bernierscored A/4’s remaining 10 points in the first half.“We played hard,” Whalen said. “We had some keyshots in the first half. I think I had five threes in the firsthalf – that was big. In the second half we played gooddefense. They’re a great team. We didn’t take anythingaway from them. They played great.”Goals from three players mostly comprised 32ndAAMDC’s first-half score, with Dion Boyd, CalvinVaught and Howard Baity picking up most of the pointsfrom the start.Boyd and Vaught produced strong results into the sec-ond half, putting 32nd AAMDC ahead of A/4. Boydplayed particularly hard and gave A/4 a run for theirmoney, scoring more than 15 points in the second half.A/4’s Whalen continued his assault of three-pointers,but was joined by teammate Steven Brown, who nailedone of his own to tie up the game late in the second half at 44-44.Though A/4 came in with a free throw, 32nd AAMDCcalled and raised with two of their own with 14.7 sec-onds to go – resulting in a 46-45 score in favor of 32nd.Despite having scored nothing in the second half,Bernier shocked everyone with the game-winning, hail-Mary two-point finishing shot as he fell backward.“I thought we lost it,” said Bernier, who said histeam’s eventual win was a team effort on defense. “Wehad 14 seconds left when we were down by one. Webrought it down the court and almost lost the ball twice.It was a free ball. I almost dove for it and then I realizedthat nobody was on my back. It was one dribble on theground … I put it up and I actually saw it go in from thefloor. It was the greatest feeling ever.”Whalen said, aside from good overall team play, heattributes A/4’s success to good defense and ball move-ment.“It was a pretty close game all the way through,” hesaid. “You don’t know how the game is going to comeout until the end. We played two 20-minute halves, andwe play until the buzzer goes. It just so happened thattheshot fell for us tonight.”
