Senior Troy Snyder connected on a 15-foot jumper with less than a second to play on Saturday night, giving the Bolingbrook Raiders boys basketball team a 73-71 victory over Springfield Southeast in the championship game of the Decatur Turkey Tournament.
The Raiders held for a final shot, with Snyder keeping the ball for the final 15 seconds of the possession before driving to the left of the lane and hitting the winning shot.
Diamond Taylor led the Raiders (3-0) with 20 points. Synder finished with 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists.
Despite Snyder's heroics on offense, Southeast had a chance to tie the game at the end.
Southeast's Lawrence Thomas had a chance to tie the game after he got fouled with 0.5 seconds left, but he missed the front end of a one-and-bonus and time expired. Thomas finished with 25 points.
