30 years ago on Feb. 13, 1993: It was one of the most bizarre basketball bounces in the history of
SD high school hoops. Tim Sillman of Watertown tried a shot near the end of second overtime about
six feet from the Aberdeen Civic Arena basket. Jesse Mattson of Aberdeen Central blocked the shot, and the ball bounced to the floor, went off the backboard and went in with five seconds left.
