DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Hailey Falline banked in a layup with 2 seconds left to give Newell-Fonda a 45-43 victory over Springville and the Class 1A girls state championship Friday night.

Falline delivered after Springville tied the score at 43 when freshman Madi Wagaman made the first of two free throws with 12.5 seconds remaining.

Newell-Fonda rebounded the miss and called time to set up a final play. The seventh-ranked Mustangs (23-4) made it work for their first state title.

The dramatic victory ended years of heartbreak for Newell-Fonda and its fans.

The Mustangs lost in the last two championship games and had been 0-5 in state finals, losing those games by a total of 18 points.
