The season has not been a rousing success for the Osseo/Park Center boys' lacrosse team, but its May 10 game against Armstrong will be something players will likely never forget.
Osseo/Park Center trailed 3-1 after one period but rallied to tie the score 4-4 on a late second-half goal by Caleb Love. The teams played into a fourth overtime before junior midfielder Chris Kuras scored the game-winner, giving O/PC a 5-4 victory.
