Lipan took a page out of its past -- and the Indians are going back to the Class A state tournament for the first time since they were state champions in 1994.
Lipan took a timeout with 35 seconds remaining after Michael Barnes of Brock had made 1 of 2 free throws with 46 seconds left to tie the score, 54-54.
Lipan switched to a 3-2 zone defense to open the final stanza, trying to buy post Shane Trickey, who was in foul trouble, some extra time on the court.
Lipan Apache are also known as Nde buffalo hunters, called by anthropologists and historians for many years as Eastern Apache, Apache de los Llanos, Lipan, Ipande, and other names.
Lipan Apache is also an Southern Athabaskan language spoken by Meredith Begay, Ted Rodriguez, and others on the Mescalero Apache Reservation.
The general consensus of the Lipan Apache Committee on the same reservation is that linguistic and anthropological considerations of their cultural extinction are mistaken and incorrect.
