The Columbus High School Explorers beat the Brewster Academy Bobcats 47-45 as 2025 4-star guard Cayden Boozer drilled a buzzer-beater in the Chipotle Nationals semifinals on Friday at Hamilton Southeastern High School in Indiana! With the game tied and clocking ticking down, Boozer sank a game-winning shot in the final second to help lift Columbus High School into the Chipotle Nationals championship game for the first time in school history.
It appeared the semifinals matchup was headed to overtime after Brewster Academy's 2026 4-star forward Sebastian Wilkins knocked down a game-tying 3-pointer with 10.9 seconds remaining but Boozer had other plans. The Duke commit sprinted down the court and connected on a fadeaway jumper to beat the buzzer. Columbus High School is scheduled to face the Dynamic Prep School in the Chipotle Nationals title game on Saturday at noon.
