The #5 Ranked Ganado Hornets defeated the #12 Ranked Page Sand Devils 61-60 in the Second Round of the AIA 3A State Basketball Tournament thanks to junior guard Justin Curley's buzzer-beating three-pointer.
2016-17 Ganado Hornets will be remembered for years to come. These Boys accomplished so much in a single season by Reaching Final Four & having the honor of playing at Gila River Arena in Glendale, AZ Jamaal Coleman stands out for that specific reason. Other schools like Window Rock, Chinle, Monument Valley & Tuba City have had so many great teams & so many great Basketball Players it's hard to stand out as a player for those schools. It's easy to be forgotten when you play for the Scouts, Wildcats, Mustangs & TC Warriors no matter how good you are. only the Really Good Players are remembered. Jamaal is Already a Legend for Ganado Hornets Basketball.
Such an incredible Basketball Game, Ganado Hornets had great team Chemistry on the court, that last play to get the win was all team work with Jamaal calling time out and Justin hitting the Buzzer.
Netflix should have made The Documentary Basketball or Nothing about the 2016-17 Ganado Hornets instead of the 2017-18 Chinle Wildcats. Doing a Documentary about this Ganado Hornets Basketball Season would have been the perfect underdog story. A High School Boys Basketball Team with a cursed History of Losing seasons but finally turning their luck around. In inside depth of how Jamaal Coleman became the Most Popular Basketball on the Navajo Nation would have been so awesome to witness.
Jamaal Coleman is the Goat he's the only player I witness turn an entire Basketball program around. For one amazing Basketball season Ganado Hornets were the Best Boys Basketball Team on the Navajo Nation it was truly amazing how Jamaal Coleman Single handedly made Hornets Basketball the talk of the Navajo Nation. every gym across the Rez was packed when the Ganado Hornets were in town, everyone wanted to witness Jamaal dunk in person.
It was Lit when #34 Jamaal Coleman was playing for Ganado Hornets only Hornet season with a winning record thanks to Jamaal Coleman The Goat of Ganado 🔥
Ganado Hornets has one player that stands out Above Everyone Figuratively & Literally. Jamaal Coleman will be remembered for years to come for that specific reason he put the community of Ganado / Burnside on his back and made Hornets Basketball Great.
Thank God The Referee's were fair this game. I remember being at the game live Page thought they won the game the team was jumping with joy all the fans were yelling so loud but thankfully the Refs noticed Jamaal calling timeout. Justin Curley's shot was the best buzzer beater I have ever witnessed live.
This was truly an amazing Season I was Happy & Proud for Ganado Hornets they were finally a Powerhouse Jamaal Coleman made his hometown proud. Like The Game & 50 Cent said Hate it or Love the Underdogs on Top.
