Act like you haven't been there before

So we saw this on SI's site, nestled among the acres of cheerleader shots, in the Hot Clicks section. It came during a recent tournament game between the Guthrie Blue Jays and the Midwest City Bombers, two very good high school teams in Oklahoma. The YouTube post credits Donté Foster of Guthrie with the buzzer beater.

It's a pretty unusual shot, but the weird thing is the reaction, or lack of it, from the Blue Jays. It stood out to the YouTube posters, too -- after the guy hits the shot, his team walks back to the bench. Some low-fives for the miracle-shot guy, but not much more emotion.

From the scoreboard, it looks like the end of the first quarter. If we're reading the board right, it looks like Guthrie had only scored three points up to that point, a pretty poor output for a good team (also a little hard to believe, but we weren't able to find a box score online; Guthrie went on to lose in two overtimes). So, not a great moment for a hugfest on the court, we're guessing.

We're always eager to point the finger at athletes who prance after a dunk when their team is down by 25, or strut when they make a tackle at the end of an 8-yard gain. Sports is full of unwarranted celebrations, at every level.

But on this one, we'll admit to being a little torn. We would have liked to seen a crack in the game face, a smile, some high fives, something. From the looks of the Internets, Donté Foster is a very good two-sport athlete and probably won't be playing his last games in high school, so there's plenty of time left to be businesslike.

Don't know how many of those you have left in you, Donté. Take your joy where you can.
