It was nothing but net!

Seventh grader William Muhanyi made a buzzer-beating three-pointer from well over half-court at the Arlington Diocese Catholic Youth Organization basketball playoffs on Saturday. Muhanyi goes to St. Ambrose Catholic School in Annandale, Virginia.

Video captured the epic shot — and his team's ecstatic reaction. Families in the crowd erupted into cheers of excitement. Some parents appeared to jump out of the stands. A member of the opposing team seemingly fell over in disbelief.

The final score was 27-26. Muhanyi's shot secured a spot for the St. Ambrose seventh and eighth grade basketball team in Sunday's championship game.
