The Northern (*30*) University males’s basketball season got here to an finish Saturday, with a 73-65 loss to Idaho State in the Big Sky Tournament.
And it’s the finish of an period — the final sport known as by longtime play-by-play man Mitch Strohman.
After more than 30 years as the voice of Lumberjacks football and basketball, Strohman was honored final week at NAU’s ultimate residence sport. And throughout the tribute, members of the soccer group hoisted him into the air, chanting his title.
Strohman was on the call when the basketball group got here to Tempe in 2011 and shocked (*30*) State University.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! With six tenths of a second to go, Stallon Saldivar has hit a three point shot to give the Jacks the lead!” he stated.
Strohman, who known as his first NAU sport in 1991, introduced his retirement in January.
