Last Play Wins

Three seconds, Two steals, One ridiculous buzzer-beater for the ages! This is the final 2 minutes of the New Rochelle vs Mount Vernon Section 1 Class AA High School Championship basketball game that took place in Westchester, NY on March 3rd, 2013.

Khalil Edney hits a 55-foot game winning buzzer beater from well past half court with 0.1 second left to give ninth-seeded New Rochelle the 61-60 dramatic upset win over third-seeded Mount Vernon. Just how bizarre was the shot? Edney began the sequence by inbounding the ball under his own basket. His baseball pass intended for teammate Joe Clarke was intercepted by a Mount Vernon player at mid-court, who proceeded to loft the ball in the air across the time line in order to run out the clock. But Edney alertly caught the ball in front of the 3-point line his team was defending before letting it fly literally right before time expired.

This is probably one of the more improbable basketball finishes you will ever see. The final two minutes of the game have been edited down to provide further context to this remarkable ending.
