I might be a little late on this since it happened Tuesday, but I recently heard that Terrapins’ recruit Jordan Williams, who attends Torrington High School in Connecticut, shattered a backboard Tuesday night while dunking the ball during a game at Naugatuck.

Finally, I’ve found video evidence of such a feat. (Not the greatest video quality, but does the trick)

“The crowd was talking to me the whole game, and I was getting aggravated and just took all of my anger out on the rim,” Williams said, according to the Republican American. “I just saw the ball go up off the backboard, and I jumped as high as I could and dunked the ball like I would normally do, but I guess it was a little harder than usual.”

With Williams’ team ahead 79-65, they had to replay the final 2:26 the next day after getting the backboard fixed.

Here’s the full game story.
