Newtown High Lands on 'SportsCenter' After Game-Winning Shot

Sports are pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but sometimes they bring small mercies that take on poignant meaning when set against life's bigger picture.

That's what happened this week at Newtown High when basketball player Mike Daubert hit an amazing buzzer-beating three pointer at the buzzer to give the Connecticut school a Senior Night win over visiting New Milford. The shot was featured as SportsCenter's top play of Tuesday night, and surely brought a welcome bit of joy to to at least some residents in a town that's still recovering from December's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Watch the shot above, then let us know when you think in the comments.
