If you’ve followed high school boys basketball even a little bit this winter, you’ve surely seen the shot.
Ryan McAleer intercepts an inbounds pass, heaves the ball up from halfcourt and scores at the buzzer to give the New Canaan Rams a 52-49 victory over the Stamford Black Knights. Bedlam ensues in the NCHS gymnasium.
It was certainly a Hollywood ending, but in the big picture, it’s just the tip of the iceberg in what has become New Canaan’s best season in more than a decade.
