There were 10 seconds left in Saturday’s boys basketball game between Syracuse Academy of Science and Utica Academy of Science, and coach Matthew Purcell needed his SAS team to get one stop to send the game into overtime.

Not only did Purcell’s team get the defensive stand they needed but his senior big man, Andre Pasha, pulled down the rebound, took a couple of dribbles and heaved a full-court shot as the final buzzer sounded.
