Manhattan ? Tired? Not the Bishop Seabury boys basketball team that crammed nearly three games worth of minutes into 20 hours at Bramlage Coliseum. Showing no signs of fatigue, the Seahawks ended a memorable season in style, defeating Hoxie, 68-56 in the Class 2A third-place game Saturday afternoon.

No hanging heads, no pouting, no selfish play a day after being on the wrong end of a miracle, triple-teamed Cole Kinnamon’s 40-foot buzzer beater in the sixth overtime, which sent St. John to the title game and left Seabury battling for third at Bramlage Coliseum.

Hustling from start to finish, the Seahawks didn’t treat it as a consolation prize.

Austin Gaumer shared a slice of coach Ashley Battles’ pregame message: “Coach looked us in the eye, and said, ‘This is our championship game. No matter what happens, there are two teams that get to go home with a win. Let’s be one of them.’ “

Seabury accomplished that and then some.

The Seahawks went on an 18-2 run in the third quarter and kept Hoxie at a safe distance from there.

“We wanted to get all the seniors in and give them a chance to play, experience the moment at Bramlage and be a part of the team with everyone else,” junior Zach McDermott said after contributing 15 points, five assists and two steals to the cause.

Battles emptied his bench for the final minutes, enabling seniors Amir Shami and Oliver Rong Xu, junior Chris Green Jr. and freshmen Cobe Green and Luke Hornberger a chance to play under the bright lights.

Shami finished his career in fine fashion, making a free throw, missing the next, and hustling to get the rebound to put up a shot. Chris Green scored a late bucket.

Wycoff (19 points, 2 of 3 3-pointers) and McDermott teamed on the play of the game when the 6-foot-1 Wycoff, a point guard, cut down the right baseline, soared way above the rim and flushed a perfect lob from McDermott. Wycoff played all 56 minutes of Friday’s game and McDermott was in for all but one play of it.

Sophomore Thomas DiZerega didn’t show any signs of fatigue, either. He dove for loose balls and scrapped his way to nine points and nine rebounds. Max Easter left the game with a sprained ankle and returned to hit a 3-pointer to go with three rebounds and two assists without a turnover. Bansi King made 4 of 8 3-pointers on the way to 14 points.

Gaumer played in a way that would have made the original point forward, Paul Pressey of the Milwaukee Bucks, proud. Gaumer made the Hoxie zone shift with quick passes, hit a 3-pointer, and drove aggressively down the lane at the end of the third period to give Seabury a 49-31 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

“I told Austin in one of the timeouts, ‘You can’t forget, even though you start at the four for us, you are a point guard. You need to get into the zone and start making plays for us.’ That’s when he started making plays,” Battles said. “When he’s confident, he’s as good as anybody.”

Afterward, when the coach and players, one-by-one, had third-place medals hung around their necks, Rong Xu pulled his to his lips and kissed it. Battles took his off his neck, ran to the edge of the stands, and hung it around the neck of his 8-year-old son, Jude, whose eyes grew wider than the medal itself.

Senior Dawson Chindamo, his foot in a boot, wasn’t able to play in this one, but he was part of the team and has the medal to prove it.

Three Seahawks will live in cyberspace for an eternity, even if they aren’t ready to watch the play that put them there.

McDermott, King and Easter had Kinnamon triple-covered on the Friday night shot that was shown repeatedly on ESPN SportsCenter.

“Every coach in America knows you’re supposed to have four guys guarding a shooter from 40 feet,” Battles quipped. “I messed up. We only had three guys on him.”

Said McDermott: “That’s not the way I want to be on SportsCenter, to be honest, but I guess since he hit the shot, it’s cool he got to be known world-wide. It was just a miracle. It was sad it went the other way this time.”

King shook his head at the memory of the miracle.

“Yeah, it was crazy. Wild shot. I don’t know. It was wild,” King said. “Steph Curry can make that, I guess, and I guess (Kinnamon) can too.”

The Seahawks (20-5) made enough shots Saturday to make the 85-mile drive back to Lawrence one filled with pride, reflecting on a successful season and wishing they had had a chance to play a seventh overtime, or an eighth, ninth or 10th if that’s what it would have taken to put them in the championship game.
