Shocker at the Buzzer for New Rochelle HS

Khalil Edney's 3-point prayer is answered as New Rochelle stuns Mount Vernon.

New Rochelle High School football quarterback Khalil Edney found himself in the right place at the right time during the Class AA Section 1 Basketball Championship game against Mount Vernon Sunday afternoon.

With just seconds on the clock and New Rochelle down by two points, Mount Vernon stole the ball and thinking the clock was about to run out, Mount Vernon's Jalen David threw the ball into the air and it came down in Edney's hands at the Mount Vernon foul line.

The State Champion quarterback then threw another touchdown from three-quarters of the court into the net as the buzzer sounded. Both pandemonium and confusion then erupted as both teams and their fans stormed the court in celebration thinking they had won—Mount Vernon thinking the clock had run out before the shot.

After reviewing the video, officials confirmed the shot was taken before the buzzer, with just 1/10 of a second remaining and the basket counted, giving New Rochelle the unbelievable 61-60 win.

Kind of amazing the number of championships New Rochelle has been bringing home lately.

And the kid who made this amazing shot was the QB on the football team.
Doesn't get much better than that! Just watched it on cnn's webpage.

It seemed to me the key point of moving the City Yard from the waterfront was to open up theRead More waterfront and turn that run down and obsolete yard into a public park overlooking Long Island Sound. The westside site was the most cost effective place to move the yard. Not ideal, but no real alternative has been proposed. I don't think this has much to do with racism. All races can enjoy more of the waterfront. Any development around it will add to our tax base

Ms. Aronow, The issue is that an alternative has been suggested, Ward Acres, as it is much largerRead More and strategically beneficial for the City of New Rochelle. I don't think the recent public discussions has resulted in unanimity in terms of the waterfront being an entirely public venue for all races to enjoy.
