8th Grader Hits Full Court Game Winner [Video]
The closer we get to the month March the more I can tolerate basketball. There is something about teams getting ready for tournament time and those last-second buzzer beaters that make the game a lot more interesting to me than during the rest of the season.
What you're seeing is the final less than one second of a basketball game. The team taking the free throw shot is winning. The team in the darker uniforms is the St. Thomas More (Baton Rouge) 8th-grade team.
The shooter misses the free throw and what happens next is the stuff of playground fantasy. Liam Calkins grabs the rebound and throws the ball with all of his might in the direction of the other goal.
You know what happens next because if it didn't go in it would just have been another 8th-grade boys basketball game.
