It's become the shot heard around the world - even though it didn't count. But various video clips and images of a controversial ending show Manasquan did appear to pull off a stunning upset of heavily favored Camden in the NJSIAA Group 2 Semifinals on Griffin Linstra’s putback just before the buzzer.

The basket was initially declared good by the trail official but all three officials conferred and ruled Linstra did not get the shot off in time. They reversed the call and gave the victory to Camden.
