30 years ago next month, one high school boys basketball team made history as they won the state championship on a buzzer beating shot. This past Friday in London, that team was honored.

Winning a State Championship is a memory that lasts a life time. Teammates are bonded together forever after the final game of the season where they lift that trophy.

But In 1982, The Laurel County Cardinals played a part in one of the greatest endings in Kentucky High School History. It's called, "the Shot Heard Round the Commonwealth."

“GOOD! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?”

Paul Andrews hit a half court shot in the title game against North Hardin to give the Cardinals their first ever State Title.

“it felt good,” Andrews says. “Did I know it was going in? No. I was happy that it did because I didn't think I could have played anymore. It would've gone in to overtime so I was tired.”

Almost 30 years after that moment, this team was honored right before the North Laurel/South Laurel game in London on February 3rd.

Players and cheerleaders flew in from as far as California to attend the ceremony.

Laurel County split in to two schools in 1992 but both wanted to come together and honor them by wearing replica jerseys during the game.

Andrews, who played basketball at Kentucky says coming back home gives him the same thrill he had at the State Championship.

“Being back in this gym, and being back here with the guys I played in high school, there's nothing like it,” Andrews says. “I had some of my best memories back here in Laurel County high school.”

Chuck Broughton, who guided the Cards to a 33-3 record says he remembers that game like it was yesterday and coming back to London for this team to be recognized reminds him of how special that year really was.

“They’ve spent a lot of hours in this gym preparing for what ended up being a state championship and people don't forget about it and I think this shows you that people here appreciate what they did 30 years ago,” Broughton says.

The man behind the now-famous radio call, WSGS broadcasting legend "Jay" Lasslo talked about that moment in his last interview with WYMT 12 years ago.

“The crowd was in a hush,” Lasslo says. “I almost choked trying to get it out that it was good.”

“UNBELIEVABLE SHOT, UNBELIEVABLE!”

The shot heard round the commonwealth, like this team will be remembered forever.
