You ever hear of a baseball player saying he closed his eyes, swung his hardest, and hit a home run? Yeah, well Maryland high school freshman Matt DeMember did the equivalent in basketball.
DeMember, who attends Frederick’s Liganore High, was playing in a church league game last weekend when he heaved up an amazing no-look, over-the-head shot at the buzzer that went in.
“The crowd was yelling, ‘Shoot! Shoot!'” his mom, Diane DeMember, told the New York Daily News. “So he said, ‘Well, I’m going to shoot it.”
“I didn’t have time to turn around, so i just kind of threw it up,” Matt, 14, added.
The shot was the No. 1 play on SportsCenter’s Top 10 Thursday.
DeMember’s team lost, but all that anyone will remember is that incredible shot.
