Indiana Junior All-Star candidate Jessica Carrothers leads No. 2 Crown Point, while Indiana Miss Basketball candidate Ally Becki has Brownsburg on a Cinderella run.
LAPORTE â The clock was winding down in the first quarter Saturday, and Jessica Carrothers had the ball.
Crown Point s star guard could ve been conservative, but this was the Class 4A LaPorte Semistate, and she wasn t leaving any chances on the table against Fort Wayne Carroll.
So, what did Carrothers do? I looked at the clock really fast and I think there was like 1.2 seconds left, so I just launched it, Carrothers said.
Carrothers prayer was answered as she drained a heave from beyond half court to give the Bulldogs their first lead of the game. When the ball went through the net, she screamed in excitement as her dad, Mark, jumped for joy on the sidelines.
