High school basketball: DME Academy beats IMG Academy on buzzer beater eerily reminiscent of Christian Laettner's 1992 shot against Kentucky

UCF commit Petras Padegimas channeled his best Christian Laettner impression Tuesday night when he knocked down a 3-point shot from the top of the key as time expired to give National Top 10 No. 8 DME Academy (Daytona Beach, Fla.) a 47-44 upset victory over No. 5 IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.).

DME Academy had just 0.9 seconds remaining on the clock as it inbounded the ball from under its own basket before heaving it to the opposing 3-point line where Padegimas received the pass and banked home the one-legged, game-winning shot to send his team into a frenzied celebration.

Padegimas' shot was eerily reminiscent of Christian Laettner's game-winning shot against Kentucky in the 1992 NCAA Tournament to send Duke to the Final Four.

DME Academy (22-4) secured its first win over a nationally-ranked opponent this season. IMG Academy (14-5) fell to 4-4 against nationally-ranked foes.

Baraka Okojie led the way with a game-high 18 points, three assists and two rebounds in the victory.
