Odom hit a one-handed, off-balance, buzzer-beating three-pointer to push his team to a 50-49 win over Wasilla last Thursday at Palmer High School. With the win, the Moose weare able to improve to 8-2 in Northern Lights Conference play and secure the NLC North No. 2 seed in the upcoming conference championships.
Odom is a three-year starter at point guard for the Moose.
“He’s really become an excellent high school basketball player,” Marvel said. “That shot he has, that jumper he’s got. He’s really confident. He’s running the offense well, playing defense well. It’s a pleasure to coach a kid like that.”
The Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman congratulates Odom on his success.
