The Texas (UIL) Class 3A high school girls basketball championship got a dose of big-play theatrics on Saturday morning at the Alamodome.
Down three with four seconds left in regulation, Shallowater appeared poised to win its third UIL title in program history in four quarters.
Until Huntington’s final look, when senior Harleigh Havard received a sideline inbound and hoisted a deep 3-pointer that crashed in off the glass to force overtime.
The shot added a dramatic twist to a back-and-forth game. Shallowater pulled away and won in overtime, 54-49.
Watch the final sequence for yourself:
Keelie Williams’ two 3-pointers off the bench helped Shallowater pull ahead in overtime and the Fillies pulled away.
It turned out, Havard had the Midas touch from deep with the clock winding down. She finished with six points (and eight boards), and her only other 3 came as the first half clock expired to send Huntington into half up three — it’s only lead of the game.
