Jalek Felton's buzzer-beating 3-pointer caps emotional night
Posted Dec 9, 2016
Jalek Felton had a lot on his mind coming into Thursday’s game with Huntington Prep. A couple of days ago, Felton’s great-grandmother, Jessie McFadden, passed away, and he wanted to play in her memory. The UNC commit scored 26 of his 30 points in the second half and banked a 3-pointer at the buzzer to lift the War Eagles to an 80-79 victory. Felton also was playing in front of his uncle, Los Angeles Clipper guard Raymond Felton.
