Look: Texas high school basketball player hits improbable full-court shot
Dallas Jesuit's season may have ended at the hands of Lewisville in the Texas high school regional quarterfinals on Tuesday night, but the Rangers put up a highlight that won't soon be forgotten.
Junior forward Michael Grant swished a one-handed full-court heave to send Jesuit into the halftime break at Newman Smith High School.
In the final seconds of the half, Lewisville's AJ McPeters pulled down an offensive rebound and attempted a second-chance layup that was swatted away by Tre Mergerson's left hand into the Grant's lap.
Grant turned and, like a quarter like a quarterback in the pocket, threw a one-handed overhead line drive into the basket from near the opposite baseline.
The make sent the Rangers down three into halftime, but ultimately did not prove to be enough, as Lewisville went on to win, 63-59.
The Fighting Farmers face undefeated Keller in the regional semifinals finals on Friday at 7 p.m.
After a fourth place finish in the 6A District 7 standings behind Lake Highlands, Highland Park and Richardson, the Rangers escaped South Grand Prairie in the bi-districts and McKinney in the area round to reach Tuesday's regional quarterfinals.
