The headline says it all… and since can add no more to the drama in that video, here’s the sequence of events:
With the game tied at 50, Blair’s Quincy Nichols was fouled, and in the act of shooting, launched a shot from two-thirds court. It went in, but the officials waved it off, saying the foul occurred before the shot attempt.
Waverly had fouls to give, so Blair tried to inbound the ball. Jay Adams, in the game to foul, stole the ball and launched a half-court shot that went in. But Vikings coach Ryan Reeder had called a timeout before the shot.
That left about 1.5 seconds on the clock. Senior Merrick Deger came off a screen and banked a three-pointer at the buzzer. Game-winner.
A desperation heave waved off… followed by a desperation heave waved off… followed by a buzzer beating 3.
Chuck summed this up nicely after I shared the video with him:
holy christthose kids will never play in a game that wild again
