Harrison Barnes' emphatic dunk seals state title
Posted Mar 17, 2009
It happened so fast, Harrison Barnes couldn’t quite see who had what part in his final dunk Saturday night. He thought James Kohler stripped the ball, maybe from Matt Bohannon. He remembers picking up the ball and noticing a Linn-Mar player trailing him down the court, it might have been Jody Henton. The details didn’t matter, though. Barnes’ breakaway one-handed dunk with 30 seconds remaining sealed the Little Cyclones’ 55-45 victory, giving the team its first state title since 1991.
