There are buzzer-beaters, desperation heaves and game-winners. Then there’s the shot that Khalil Edney put up Sunday. It was a combination of all three.

Edney, a senior center at New Rochelle High School in New York, hit a 55-foot, one-handed heave as time ran out, giving his team a 61-60 upset win over Mount Vernon in New York’s Section 1 Class AA championship game.

“I can’t believe it happened. I’m in shock right now,” Edney told ESPNNewYork.com’s Mike Mazzeo. ”I just threw it up. I thought it was gonna bounce off the front rim, but it was all net. I couldn’t believe it.”

I was going to post this in the RTT, but I think this deserves its own thread. I hit game winning free throws before, but it wasn't for the championship and I was only 12. However, I was still on cloud 9. I can't imagine how good Edney feels right now.

Wow. Flashback time. Those are schools I wrestled against in high school.

Amazing end to that game. Amazing.

I know the feeling of having the GWer (scoring a goal at the end) but yeah I can't imagine just heaving a ball down the court with no time left in championship and it going in. That's amazing.

sidenote: How mad must the other team be? lol

Yeah. To being up by 10 pts with a 1:09 left, to thinking you lost, to thinking you won, but then finding out that your really did lose.

I can't imagine how good Edney feels right now.

I can't imagine how bad the dude that stole the inbounds pass feels right now. All he had to do was bend over and hold the ball and they win

That's the longest 2.9 seconds I've ever seen.

The thing that got me is the announcer saying "finish of the year" that might be the best sequence to end a game ever, buddy.
