The final 19 seconds of a Maine high school basketball game were just...wild.
A crazy dunk, and a head's up play before, from Illinois High School Basketball is the January Play of the Month.A high school boys' basketball semifinal Friday night in Portland, Maine, saw the lead change four times in the final 19 seconds, including a buzzer beater that should not have counted that gave Thornton Academy a 52-51 win over Bonny Eagle at Cross Insurance Arena.
Thornton's Will Davies took a long inbounds pass and shot from near the foul line as the final buzzer sounded. Officials ruled the shot counted, allowing Thornton to advance to the Class AA South final Saturday.Bonny Eagle coach John Trull insisted the shot was too late, and replays appeared to show the ball was still in Davies’ hand as the clock reads 0.0.
