Half-court buzzer beater seals win

A game between two rival Ohio high schools came down to the final second on Feb. 7: a half-court buzzer beater gave Willoughby-Eastlake South the 78-76 win over Mentor High School. Junior guard Jack Whitaker hit the shot.

Willoughby-Eastlake South improved to 16-1 with the win, setting the team up well for a top playoff seed.

“This is definitely No. 1,” Whitaker told the News-Herald, “It’s unbelievable. I can’t believe it happened. It’s still going through my head. It’s fantastic, really."
