VIDEO: Mount Miguel Loses Game on Loss on Last Second Buzzer Beater

La Jolla Country Day School knocked off the Matadors 64-62 on a putback by Josh Church, as he was falling down backwards.

The Mount Miguel boys basketball team fell to 8-2 on the season following a heartbreaking 64-62 loss to La Jolla Country Day on Wednesday in the Crawford Tournament.

The Matadors fell on a last-second buzzer beater by Josh Church, who grabbed a loose ball, and while falling backwards threw up a circus shot to give LJCD the win.

Mount Miguel was once again led by senior Izzy Wagner, who is dominating competition, averaging 40 points per game through nine games. He has scored more than 40 points six times this year already, including a career-high 54 points on Dec. 15 vs. Hilltop.
