Faith Family Academy wins state class with instant classic over Liberty Hill

SAN ANTONIO -- Freshman Jordan Walsh’s buzzer-beating baseline dunk won the first of what could be many state championships for the Oak Cliff Faith Family Eagles, 53-51, over Liberty Hill Saturday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio.

Walsh’s amazing flush – how often do you truly see a buzzer-beating dunk? – came after a mad dash to the finish. After controlling the game for the most part of three and a half quarters, Liberty Hill relinquished the lead only to figure out a way to knot the game with less than 20 seconds to play. Senior guard Rakeim Gary drove the lane and dished to Walsh who did the rest, setting off a wild celebration.
