March Madness has arrived early in Crescent City.

On Friday night, the St. Bernard’s eighth-graders opened the Jaycees Tournament with a dramatic finish, when JJ Wilson nailed a half-court buzzer-beater to end the game.

Wilson’s big shot sealed a 39-37 win for St. Bernard’s over Bethal Christian.

Check out two different angles of the brilliant shot above.
