WHITE PLAINS, New York (AP) — March Madness hasn’t gone into full swing yet. But chances are, nothing that will happen in the NCAA tournaments this month will match the drama of a game-winning buzzer-beating shot that put a high school kid on the map, at least virtually.
Khalil Edney heaved in a 55-foot, one-handed shot as time ran out to give his New Rochelle, New York high school team a sectional title over rival Mt. Vernon.
The clip has become an online sensation. Former New Rochelle alum Ray Rice of the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens has praised Edney’s game-winner. Duke guard Seth Curry has also raved at Edney’s exploits.
