Without a doubt, Emily Bestor's half-court shot at the buzzer to beat Lomira on Thursday night will be remembered for some time.
But what are some other memorable game-winning shots you guys have seen?
I'll start by telling one from my high school days when I was at Milwaukee Marquette. Tosa East came to the Humphrey Gymnasium and, naturally, the game went into double overtime. With Tosa East leading by two, the Raiders missed a free throw. Marquette pushed the ball up the court and Ernest Williams drained a 3-pointer from the wing (right in front of the East student section), and bedlam ensued on the court.
Unfortunately, what happened afterward put a damper on the excitement. Marquette students stormed the court, and a Tosa East player felt he was pushed, so he pushed down the first Marquette student he saw. A Marquette coach confronted the Tosa East player from behind, but the player didn't know what was going on, and punched the coach.
It was an ugly scene that changed the way some schools handle their crowds. Fortunately, nothing like that happened Tuesday night in Lomira.
