Bullitt East High School buzzer beater for 6th region title

This thing is even being shown on ESPN. Bullitt East got a game winning shot from Trey Rakes to knock off PRP and go back to the Sweet 16.

Great shot!

But man that was a HORRIBLE charging call that set it up. The defender must've moved 3-4 feet to the right after the offensive player left his feet. That's either a block, or a no-call with the game on the line.

The kid that took the charge goes to church with us. I thought it was questionable, but if you go strictly by the way the block/charge rule is written, it was probably a charge. At least according to the tape, I wasn't there so I can't say for sure. Btw the big dark haired kid guarding the ball handler out fron in the first of the video is UK commit Derek Willis.

It was ESPN's #1 Top Ten Play of the Day. D Wade was #2 and Lebron was #3. Bet there are not too many if any high school kids in Kentucky that can say they beat D Wade and Lebron in something.

Gary Harris, an Indiana kid, made the #1 ESPN play last week during sectionals on a game winning shot. Too bad he is going to Michigan State!

Too bad they have to play the Trinity Shamrocks in round one but at least they won't have to spend a bunch of money on hotel rooms. Go Rocks!

It's every high school boys dream to be able to beat PRP...reminds me of the shot Indiana took to beat U of K this year...take a shot from a hail-mary territory, say a prayer and hope it's nothing but net.

Nuff said.

Whatever....Watford took a lightly contested three from just beyond the arc, while in rythym...a shot he regularly makes. Clutch, yes....a miracle shot no!

Sorry Chub, it is a miracle but lroberts and myself agree on this one. Other than both shots winning the game for their teams, they were not even close to the same kind of shot.

Sorry to both of you...a hail-mary is a hail mary and a prayer is a prayer, especially at the last second.

I went to PRP man....gotta stick by the youngin's. Elwood as you already know, I don't know squat about sports....don't follow any of it...the only way I knew there was high school tournament play is because I saw it on the news...the day AFTER, and the only part I caught was the buzzer shot. So...through these non-experienced basketball watching eye's, it looked like a hail-mary and a prayer to me

Sources tell me PRP got wrongfully called for a charging foul...PRP had the ball...PRP guy was already in the air BEFORE the Bullit East guy was set. Ball turned over to Bullitt East, hail-mary, pray, score, win!

PRP will see Bullitt East again next year it sounds like. Returning for PRP...two starters and the fifth and sixth man, one of which has started before.

All in all, judging from what Tipton wrote, it sounds like Bullitt East has it going on right now, and with that being said It sounds like PRP may have been the under dog gave them a decent run for their money this year.

Ok...so now I'm rooting for Bullitt East and U of K....sworn to fun, loyal to none

I will agree that Trinity is the favorite, but Bullitt East is going to be a tough test for them. IMO Trinity was fortunate to be there, Ballard didn't put them away when they had the chance.

Best thing about East, they have state tournament experience. Most of these kids were starters on last season's final four team and they are still only juniors. They return four starters and five of their top six next season and will probably be the preseason favorite to win the whole thing.
