Johnston (Iowa) caps off wild comeback with a stellar 3-pointer and then a heads-up putback at the buzzer.
Video: Miracle finish in IowaSee one of the craziest finishes this basketball season. Johnston (Iowa) would have lost Friday's IHSAA Class 4A, Substate 7 semifinal if basketball games use 31 minutes, 56 seconds of clock.
They don't. They use 32 minutes.
The Dragons posted a riveting five points in those final 4.1 seconds to stun Ames and steal the win, capped off by a wide-open putback from
Peyton Williams after teammate
Jaden Kephart stole the ball at half-court but missed badly on a 3-pointer that would have won the game.
Ames led 43-40 when Kephart drained an acrobatic game-tying 3-pointer with 3.6 seconds remaining. A timeout ensued and then Ames coughed up the ball near half-court on the inbounds pass. It all set up Kephart's miss and Williams' heads-up play that helped the Dragons advance in the postseason.
