Team Northumbria’s Leola Spotwood Wins the National Cup at the Buzzer!
Check out Team Northumbria’s Leola Spotwood coming up clutch to give the 2014 National Cup to Northmbria over Cardiff Archers, 66-64.
With the scores tied at 64 and 7.4 seconds remaining, Northumbria inbounded the ball and got it for Leola who escaped a double team and finished a 10 foot jump shot to win the game as the horn sounded.
“As someone once told me, that once you see the ball go in, it’s gonna go in,” said Spotwood of her game winner. “When I had the ball in my hands, I’d already seen it going in the basket before I put it up and so it happened to go in.”
Spotwood finished with 30 points and 10 rebounds and was named MVP.
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
