Logan Hillesheim is only in the seventh grade and he may have already hit the biggest shot of his life.
With only two seconds to go, Otsego Junior High School was trailing Fostoria Junior High School by just one point. After a Fostoria player missed his free throw, Hillesheim got the rebound and launched a full-court shot.
"Am I gonna make it?" the Ohio teen later recalled thinking to himself. "Am I gonna be the hero or the villian? I believed in myself, I attempted it and I made it."
"The whole crowd was going crazy; my dad rushed the court and hugged me. It was an amazing feeling."
Otsego basketball coach Gina Caris told WTOL that she had tried to call a timeout right as Hillesheim tossed up the prayer. She's now glad the referees were watching the game instead of her.
