About this Article

After watching the first 10 shots of this game go awry, Lake Zurich senior John Repplinger decided to show the fans at home how a basketball actually goes through the net. He scored the first bucket of the 6 p.m. game in the inaugural Lake Zurich Martin Luther King Classic. But it was his second shot of the game that really stood out. It kind of woke everyone up. Repplinger picked up the play-by-play following his team's impressive 61-33 romp over Harlem on Monday night. "It's my spin move,'' Repplinger said. "I've shot it a couple of times when I get a fast break. I use my left hand when the defender comes at me."
