Junior Andrew Keane canned a foul shot with no time left on the clock to boost Valley (No. 6) past Kennedy (No. 11). Keane was fouled hard under the basket as he attempted the game winner at the buzzer. He misfired on the first foul shot, but canned the second.
"I was trying to block everything out," Keane said. "But my first shot was way off. After that, maybe the pressure was off. I was just assuming we were going to overtime."
"I've coached over 700 high school games," said Valley coach Joe Leicht. "I've never coached a team that won a game with no time left on the clock. That's a first. Andrew is the kid that you want on the line in that situation. I knew he'd make one, although we all got a little nervous when he missed the first."
