WATCH: Eisenhower Student Makes Half-Court Buzzer Beater

Dlayla Chakolis made the shot during the state AAU qualifying tournament at Bloomington Jefferson High School.

Move over Blake Hoffarber. Hopkins has a new buzzer beater in town.

An Eisenhower Elementary School sixth grader Dlayla Chakolis sank a half-court shot Sunday during the state AAU qualifying tournament at Bloomington Jefferson High School, the Pioneer Press reported.

The efforts of Chakolis, a North Minneapolis resident who’s nicknamed "Lay-bron," didn’t keep her team, the Stars, from losing to Crossfire. But they’re scheduled to go up against each other again during the state sixth-grade championship at the end of May.
