90 Foot-Shot Wins Game For Guilford

But then he heard the Randolph-Macon coaches tell their players to back away from the line."When they did that, I couldn't get near anybody in six-tenths of a second, so I just took the ball and threw it," he said.

"When the referee came and said it was good, I kind of jumped up and down when I was right next to (Rhoades)," he said. "I told him I was sorry.
