Roman Catholic defeated Archbishop Ryan on Monday night in the Philadelphia Catholic League boys championship game after an electrifying final sequence that saw one apparent game-winner superseded by an even more clutch shot.
After a late basket by Roman’s Shareef Jackson sent the game to overtime, Ryan had the ball in the closing seconds of the extra period trailing by two. The Ryan players passed the ball around the perimeter until Ryan Everett was able to get behind the defense and knock down a wide-open three to give the Raiders the lead with about eight seconds on the clock.
But then Roman senior Kabe Goss had a heroic moment of his own. He took the inbounds pass and dribbled down the court. Just inside the three-point line, he pulled up and buried a jumper just as time expired to win the game.
