Pretty Amazing Buzzer Beater~

[To see shot NOW, click on link at bottom of this post]

Even though it came at the end of the first quarter, this has to be one of the most unusual buzzer beaters I've ever seen. Last week on ESPN I saw a high school player rebound a missed throw, take one dribble, whirl and fire a shot the length of the court. It went in, and was a game winning shot on top of that. Truly amazing. But the shot, although long range, was about as "normal" of a buzzer beater as you can get from that distance.

Unusual Style Unveiled by Donte Foster
Last Friday night Midwest City and Guthrie, two highly ranked Oklahoma high schools , were getting it on and Midwest City held a 12 -3 lead when Guthrie had the ball out of bounds with less one-half of a second on the clock. Guthrie inbounded the ball to Donte Foster, who evidently has watched some volleyball on TV or in person.

Walking non-chalant with his back to the basket, tipped it over his head as if to set up his spiker. The ball swished through just after the buzzer sounded to end the quarter. It would have been just as classic had it been a4 or 5 foot shot, but not this time... Foster was behind the 3 pt line!

Foster finished with 18 points, but had tough luck late in a pressure packed game that ended in double overtime with Midwest City winning 63-58. Foster missed a potential game winning 17 footer at the end of the first overtime. He only had 1 field goal in the 2nd half and overtime, and
was 5-11 from the free throw line.

Maybe he was still replaying in his mind what was more than likely the best shot he had ever made in his life. [Click here to see the shot on youtube]
