Snowden sophomore Javaughn Kittrell banked in a fadeaway, circus shot off the glass with 36 seconds left in double overtime to help beat St. Mary’s of Lynn, 63-58, Monday night in the Division 4 North boys’ semifinals in Chelsea.
“That shot, what a lifetime shot, what can I say,” Kittrell said after scoring a game-high 23 points. “It happens once in a lifetime.’’
After junior Derron Stone hit a pair of free throws to give them a 59-57 lead with 1:21 left in the game, Kittrell stole the ball and took it down to the paint, where he pulled up for a jump shot. After being blocked by Nick Amenta, the 15-year-old recovered the ball and threw up his fadeaway prayer that gave Snowden a 61-57 edge.
St. Mary’s was led by senior Matt Manning’s team-high 22 points.
