A high school basketball game in Maine — a Class AA South boys’ semifinal contest — ended with a controversial buzzer-beater, dubbed on Twitter as “the craziest 20.9 seconds in Maine basketball history.”
The Thornton Academy Trojans led the Bonny Eagle Scots, 47-45. A 3-pointer gave the Scots a 48-47 lead seconds later, immediately followed by an and-one on a contested shot, awarding the Trojans a 50-48 advantage as 8.8 seconds remained. The Scots regained the lead with 1.3 seconds left on a put-back attempt, plus the foul and a made free throw, making it a 51-50 game.On the previous drive, which gave Bonny Eagle the lead, the clock on the WHOU.
Thornton Academy made a long inbounds pass that was caught about 30 feet away from the rim. Following a single dribble, the shot was released just above the free-throw line, and the red light — signaling the end of the fourth quarter — clearly goes off before the ball is in the air. So according to the clock in the arena, the shot should’ve been invalid.Four lead changes. Two dramatic and 1 layups. And a shot that people will be talking about for a long time.
