Eighth-grader makes miracle full-court buzzer beater, recreates it on first attempt for local news
"Oh, my gosh," is right. If Easton Gamoke's name hasn't already made him the coolest kid at Winona (Minn.) Middle School, his remarkable feat this week probably sealed the deal.
The 13-year-old broke a 44-44 tie with a full-court, game-winning shot at the buzzer while competing for his Winona YMCA Runnin' Rebels at a tournament in Holmen, Wis., over the weekend, according to a Minneapolis Star Tribune post.
Then, when KMSP-TV showed up to interview the eighth-grader about the "one in a million" shot, he did it again. On his first attempt. Holy Gamoke.
As classmate Austin Weatherhead told the TV station, "All girls love basketball players." Well, the ones who can make two one-in-a-million shots in a week, anyway.
