It wasn't one of his best games. But when it counted the most, Long didn't come up short.

Jackson Long made a 12-foot bank shot at the buzzer to give the North Hills freshman basketball team a 38-36 victory Tuesday at Fox Chapel.

North Hills looked in good shape when it held a 32-20 lead after three quarters. But turnovers plagued the Indians and Fox Chapel came back to tie the game, 36-36. Fox Chapel had the ball with less than 30 seconds left, but turned it over with 12 seconds remaining.

After a timeout, Long came off a screen and hit a shot from the right side to give the Indians the win. It was only his third basket of the game. The victory was the third consecutive for North Hills and the Indians are now 3-1.

Nathan Schanbacher led North HIlls with 14 points. After Long's seven points, Kelly McCarthy added six.

North HIlls is next in action at home Friday against Avonworth. Game time is 3:30 p.m. at the Senior High.
