Seneca Valley Player Shatters Backboard in Basketball Classic
The 6-foot-5 senior guard at Seneca Valley literally brings the game to a halt.
A Seneca Valley basketball player has something in common with basketball greats like Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Jordan.
On Saturday night, Easton Bazzoli threw down a dunk during an all-star game that crumbled the backboard to pieces, according to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
"Everybody said it's pretty awesome," Bazzoli told the Post-Gazette. "I thought it was pretty cool. It's not something a lot of people have done."

The dunk happened during the Roundball Classic at Geneva College.
With about a minute left in the Class AAAA vs. AAA game, the P-G reports that Bazzoli took a pass from New Castle's Antonio Rudolph and dunked the ball. The backboard shattered, the rim came down and the fourth and final game had to be stopped, or as the announcer says "That about does it."
