Watch Zion Harmon come up huge despite his youth.

Experience in the postseason is overrated if you ask Bowling Green (Ky.) eighth-grader Zion Harmon.

The youngster was calm and cool as he nailed a game-winning shot in the final minute of the Kentucky state semifinals, good enough to be named a Top Play presented by the United States Coast Guard.

Kentucky doesn't do its playoffs by division, so Harmon had to play against the big boys. And he definitely showed that he belongs, scoring 18 points in the semifinals and then adding 21 in the state title game the next day.



The 5-foot-9 guard helped Bowling Green finish its season with 29 straight wins, a 36-2 record and the school's first state title.
