Watch Hope-Calvin Men's Basketball Documentary

The Hope College-Calvin College men's basketball rivalry was the subject of a documentary this winter.

 The project was done by Ryan Terpstra of YellowFlag Sports Productions, based in Bloomfield Hills.

Watch it here or on YouTube.

 

 

Below is a photo from a 1965 game when Hope defeated Calvin at the Civic Center 104-102 in double overtime. Freshman Don Kronemeyer is being carried off the floor after making the winning free throws.

Kronemeyer, a Holland Christian High School product, sank a free throw after the buzzer of a double overtime game at the Holland Civic Center to give the Flying Dutchmen a 104-102 victory. He was fouled by Kim Campbell as the buzzer sounded while attempting to throw a long pass, after gathering in a rebound.

Kronemeyer was carried off the court in celebration with the score 103-102 and had to return to put in the bonus half of the one-and-one. Campbell's clutch free throw shooting had sent the game into overtime.

Calvin's Ed Douma fouled out in the first overtime. Campbell actually had a chance to be the hero during the second overtime. With 23 seconds remaining and Calvin ahead 102-100, he was at the free throw line with a one-and-one. He made the first free throw, but the referee ruled he was standing on the line and therefore turned the ball over to Hope.

Carl Walters' layup tied the score with nine seconds left. Jim Frederick's shot as time ran out was no good. There was a scramble for the ball, Kronemeyer grabbed it with little chance to take a shot. The buzzer sounded and the game appeared to be going into a third overtime, or so everyone thought. Instead a foul was whistled on Campbell.
