'What a shot': 12-year-old hits insane no-look buzzer-beater
A 12-year-old middle school student has produced one of the all-time no-look buzzer-beaters for Johnson Middle School.
Myli Harpold dribbled the ball up the court with a few seconds left when she was surrounded by a double team.

Having no option but to shield the ball, Harpold turned her back to the basket.
In a desperate attempt, the 12-year-old lobbed the ball behind her head.
It hit nothing but net.
Celebrations erupted as Harpold ran to her teammates in disbelief. One student could be seen looking on in shock.
Incredibly, the 12-year-old hit a half-court buzzer-beater only one week before.

As time was running out, Harpold again took it upon herself to dribble the ball up to half-court before launching a last-ditch shot.
This time it bounced off the backboard as the buzzer sounded.
However, the celebrations weren’t as ferocious considering the context of the game.
