When it looked like it was no longer possible, Alex Cook of Louisville Male High School, made it happen.

After a turnover, Male appeared to be done for, but in a desperation heave, Cook launched the winning basket from half court, and the crowd lost it.

The buzzer-beater gave the Bulldogs' a 65-62 victory over St. Xavier, and coaches and players alike still can't believe it.

"That's kind of a once-in-a-lifetime ending," coach Willie Feldhaus said to Steve Bittenbender of the Courier-Journal.

As for Cook, he was just surprised he had the chance at the shot.

"I didn't think I was going to get it off," he said.

Call it luck, skill, or even a miracle, but either way, it was a finish for the ages.
