Watch: Dramatic buzzer-beater in School Basketball Nationals final

Boys Grand Final - Rangitoto V Palmerston North Boys' High School The crowd at the SAS Secondary Schools Basketball Nationals have arguably witnessed one of the most thrilling finishes to secondary sport ever. The foundations of that building will need repairing after the Palmy Boys' supporting schools-mates unleashed a thunderous haka during the final quarter. It added momentum in what was a mighty come back from 25 points down to lead in the final play by one point. If it wasn't for what happened next, a national basketball victory would have been etched into Manawatu folklore... if it had not been for Coach's son, Cameron Stone, who lobbed a prayer from outside the arc.
