Skyline senior Connor Flaherty lived the dream at Baun Gymnasium on Friday night. His team trailing by two points with just six ticks left on the clock, the 6-foot guard took the inbound pass after T.J. Ellis' made free throw and sprinted down the court against tight defense.
With a hand in his face as the final horn sounded, assumed the role of ruthless assassin as his 3-point bid from the left wing struck true to give the Grizzlies a 73-72 victory over Twin Falls.
The buzzer-beater capped a frantic last-gasp rally for Skyline (4-9, 2-3 Region Four-Five-Six), which trailed 71-67 with 22.9 seconds to go. But the Bruins (9-4, 3-2) melted down in the final few seconds to open the door for the Grizzlies.
"We didn't get a clean break off the (made) free throw, but time's running out. You just kind of hope for a prayer, and I got a little lucky tonight," said Flaherty. "We got back in with a great team effort, being down six with a minute and a half to go - a conference win, on the road, this is really big for us."
