VIDEO: Hawkeye football recruit C.J. Fiedorowicz makes an incredible basketball shot

University of Iowa tight end-to-be C.J. Fiedorowicz had quite a moment on a basketball court Friday night.

The senior at J0hnsburg (Ill.) High School launched a three-quarters-court shot and swished it. You can watch it here at the Northwest Herald's Web site.

Here's a snippet from the story on the game, courtesy of the Daily Herald:

Not even an ESPN highlight-worthy shot from three-quarters court can stop Grayslake Central.

The hottest team in Lake County cranked its thermostat a few degrees higher Friday night in surviving a wild and spirited atmosphere at a packed gym in Johnsburg.

The Rams could have gotten caught up, just like the crowd did, in the amazing spectacle that ended the third quarter. With just seconds remaining, Johnsburg center CJ Fiedorowicz picked up a loose ball while playing defense in the middle of the lane. He took one step forward, cocked his arm behind his head and heaved a baseball pass towards the Johnsburg basket at the other end of the court.

When the ball shot through the bottom of the net as the buzzer sounded, the crowd went crazy and the Skyhawks were suddenly trailing by only 2 points, after having been down by as many as 7 points just minutes before. . . .

"I really didn't even throw the ball that hard on that shot," Fiedorowicz (game-high 18 points) said of his instant classic. "I kind of threw it like a shot put. I knew it was right on, but I never thought it would go in. That was insane."

However, Grayslake Central composed itself and went on to a 55-44 win over Fiedorowicz's team. The future Hawkeye had 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Johnsburg is 20-2, with both losses coming to Grayslake Central.
