He was putting right the claim of current coach Marty Akers that NBHS were seeking a maiden crown since the tourney kicked off soon after the turn of the century.
A grinning McGlashan said that when NBHS won their first title, in 2008, HBHS again were the hosts.
"We've been on that tail end of some not-so-good finishes in the tournament," he said, recalling how Hamilton BHS had knocked them out of the semifinals in a penalty shootout in a national tourney in 2008.
"A lot of our boys in this team have been second in futsal in the past couple of years so they didn't want to be second again and were really positive about getting a big win."
While it was a cruel way for a teams to win and lose, McGlashan emphasised the Campbell Hantler-captained champions practised penalty kicks after most trainings because it was the nature of the beast in tourneys.
"We know how it feels to be on the wrong side and Tauranga [Boys College] got us out in the quarterfinals once and these boys [Hamilton] took us out in the nationals so it was their turn then and it's our turn now."
He said it was nice to be involved with a great group of youngsters who worked hard for each other.
It was a scoreless first half and it's fair to say Hamilton captain John Clout and his boys gave NBHS fans the most cause for anxiety.
Right wing Matthew Shaw was creating havoc on his flank to provide striker Alex Frank some quality crosses but it seemed those vested with the responsibility of finishing had left their sensible boots in their bags.
Frustration led to yellow cards for NBHS striker Jorge Akers as well as Frank at either end.
NBHS too often lost patience, trying to thread the ball through the rib of the park rather than going wide to stretch the Hamilton defence.
That lack of peripheral vision meant too often left winger Gabriel Knecht found himself under constant pressure to receive the ball and coughed it up through unforced errors, while left wing Luis Toomey was redundant.
Coach Akers addressed some issues at the break but it was Hamilton who drew first blood, in the 69th minute. Frank got a tap-in goal past NBHS goalkeeper Daniel Robinson in front of the goal mouth - but the kudos should go to a tireless Shaw for his crisp cross from the right flank.
That stung NBHS into action. It took substitute Harry Mason to ignite a revival in the 73rd minute, chipping a lob wedge-like shot over the defensive wall which had failed to clear a free kick in a crowded box.
Hamilton came back with the kitchen sink, claiming a rash of cornerkicks. Centre-mid Shadrake Ngungambili's range finder clipped the crossbar but the NBHS defence survived the onslaught.
In the first spell of extra time NBHS lived dangerously but kept the score locked.
Shaw planted the ball into the NBHS net shortly after played resumed in the second spell of extra time but NBHS defender Matt Aitchison had to calm down irate goalkeeper Robinson after a 50-50 challenge in the box.
Referee Jason Marshall had disallowed the goal before the altercation, prompting howls of protest from Hamilton BHS.
With two minutes left on the clock, Hamilton defender Johnleo Caseili hobbled off with an ice pack on his left shoulder after coming off second best in an aerial challenge from Akers.
In the penalty shootout, Hamilton goalkeeper Keegan Hansen crisply pushed it past Robinson but Akers duffed.
But it was Robinson's turn to thump his chest when he denied Frank before Mason delivered (1-1).
Jack Marden (Hamilton) sighed with relief and Ethan Martin matched him (2-2).
Robinson stymied Hamilton's Luke Woolerton but NBHS player Max Simcox showed how it was done, beating Hansen (3-2 NBHS).
NBHS fans held their collective breath as Clout found no cigar against Robinson.
The crowd exhaled and went wild.
