8 Points In Less Than One Second
This was a wild finish from last weekend's Oklahoma Class 2A girls high school state championship game. Yes, you read that right, eight points were scored in the last second of the game between Walters and Pocola.
A Walters player hit a three-point field goal to take the lead, and was fouled. However, Walters was called for a technical foul, because some of the team members left the bench and went on the court to celebrate. At this point, there was .07 of a second left on the clock.
The Walters player hit the free throw, then Pocola got to shoot two free throws for the technical. At this point, Walters led by two points. The Pocola player hit one of the two free throws, to cut the deficit to one point.
Pocola then got the ball out of bounds with .07 left on the clock. Cassie Slate of Pocola hit a 36-foot prayer off the inbounds pass to win the game and the state championship for Pocola.
That's a crazy finish, no matter the level of basketball.

Wow! That announcer was ... hmmmm ... interesting.
That final shot was amazing! Nice. Reminds me of some old NBA playoff games - one with Reggie Miller and one with Larry Bird!
Nice find!
The announcer is a sports reporter for the NBC station in Oklahoma City. He's originally from a small town in Oklahoma, and this high school show is his side gig.
That was a wild game. The technical was a bit debatable, but the half-court shot was a pure answered prayer.
