This one comes to us from New York where New Rochelle trails Mount Vernon by two points with two seconds left. All Mount Vernon has to do is inbounds the ball and run out the clock, right?
Two things stand out. First, the bizarre scene where both teams are celebrating thinking they had won the sectional title.
Second, the official at the bottom of the screen runs off the floor at the end and has to be called back for the ref huddle to determine whether the shot counted.
When I watched this buzzer beater, the first thing that popped into my head was the finish of the 1994 Murray/Beechwood Class 1A state football championship game.
Beechwood was trying to run out the clock and threw the football in the air in their own end zone. The Murray player caught the ball before it hit the ground, but the officials had already blown the call dead and declared the game over.
