Lesniak's buzzer-beater sends Winters Mill to final
COLLEGE PARK - Hoping to better prepare his team for the challenges it might face come March, Winters Mill coach Dave Herman loaded his early season schedule with the likes of Mount St. Joseph and Cardinal Gibbons, an unusual move for a Carroll County program.
It was a move, however, that paid huge dividends in last night's Class 2A state semifinals, as the No. 12 Falcons rallied from eight points down with just over four minutes left against perennial Prince George's County power Gwynn Park, then won it, 58-56, on guard Devon Lesniak's off-balance 15-footer at the buzzer.
"There was really no set play," said Lesniak, who finished with 10 points. "I looked up at the clock and there were three seconds left. I went to the elbow [on the court] and took a fade-away jumper. I felt like it was a good shot -- right on target."
