Patrick Wyers' Double OT goal gives Skippers the title


Patrick Wyers clinches it for Tonka

The Spuds gave Minnetonka everything they could handle. Answering every punch thrown by the number one team in Minnesota and throwing a few of their own. 

In the end, it was Wyers who was in the right place at the right time. Scoring his first goal of the state tournament on rebound to end it. After the game, Wyers was still in shock at what had just happened. Asked how he scored, Wyers said, "it was a rebound." Asked what was going through his mind after it went in he nervously said, "we won state."
