INDIANAPOLIS -- It was a day 58 years in the making, Crispus Attucks defeated Twin Lakes on Saturday to bring home their first championship title since 1959.
The Tigers' Jamal Harris scored a last second tip-in to take the lead. But with just .09 on the clock, the Indians couldn't get another shot. Attucks won 73-71.
The big "O" Oscar Robertson was there to cheer on his Alma Mater Saturday night - and he couldn't have been more thrilled.

It’s a bit of a Cinderella story for the Indiana high school boys’ basketball team, but it’s not their first.
Crispus Attucks was the first all-black high school team in the nation to win a state championship in 1955. The school went on to win championships again in 1956 and 1959.
And 58 years later - they now have their fourth.
