An Oklahoma high school lost at the buzzer when their own player scored on the wrong basket. But hey — this kind of thing happens, even to the pros.
So there's 2.9 seconds left in the Oklahoma class 3A boys basketball quarterfinals. Millwood is playing Hugo, and Hugo's up 37-36. They've got the ball. They just need to run out the clock and they'll advance to the semis.
Hugo inbounds the ball to Trey Johnson, their junior guard. He's only scored two points all night.
And then Trey makes a mistake: He catches the ball, and in a moment of confusion, thinking he's just putting an exclamation point on his team's victory, accidentally scores on his own basket. For the other team.
At the buzzer.
Final score: Millwood 38, Hugo 37.
Trey Johnson is no doubt crushed today. But he can take heart in this: mistakes happen. They happen to great players.
Like Chris Webber. Here's the biggest mistake of his athletic career, in the 1993 national championship game versus North Carolina.
