With only 1.6 seconds left, the squad was down 56-54 as an opposing Northfield player stepped up to the free-throw line. But not all was lost yet. As the ball trickled off the rim after the missed foul shot, Austin player Oman Oman grabbed the rebound and threw a Hail Mary shot the full length of the court. The buzzer-beater swished through the basket, giving the Packers the three-pointer they needed to win the game. “It was just a reaction,” Oman told the [Austin Daily Herald](http://www.austindailyherald.com/2015/12/boys-basketball-oman-hits-game-winning-full-court-shot-for-packers/) after the 57-56 victory. “I just got the ball, and I threw it up. Luckily it went in. It kind of surprised me. I was happy and everyone was charging at me. It was good feeling.” See the full video above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4143339/high-school-basketball-player-wins-game-with-full-court-shot/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4143339/high-school-basketball-player-wins-game-with-full-court-shot/"},"headline":"Watch This High School Basketball Player Hit an Unbelievable Full-Court Shot","datePublished":"2015-12-09T21:19:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:54.106Z","description":"He sinks it at the buzzer","url":"https://time.com/4143339/high-school-basketball-player-wins-game-with-full-court-shot/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Basketball","Sports topic","Athletes","High School"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4143339/high-school-basketball-player-wins-game-with-full-court-shot/","name":"Watch This High School Basketball Player Hit an Unbelievable Full-Court Shot"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Georgetown vs. Princeton: The Game That Saved March Madness","description":"No. 16 seed Princeton's near-upset of No. 1 seed Georgetown in a 1989 first-round game made sure Cinderella would always get invited to the ball.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/z2mnNZ9m/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-03-19T23:01:36.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/z2mnNZ9m.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4143339/high-school-basketball-player-wins-game-with-full-court-shot/","duration":"PT9M34S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4143339/high-school-basketball-player-wins-game-with-full-court-shot/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
