Bobby Plump drove a jump shot home with three seconds remaining and — just like that — the “Mighty Men” of Milan became high school champions of this state. Muncie Central was vanquished. The score was 32-30.

And the game, well, it was one of the greatest this state tourney ever has seen and the Butler Fieldhouse was a madhouse as the final gun sounded last night.

— IndyStar, March 21, 1954.

There's no still picture of Bobby Plump's last shot in the 1954 Indiana high school title game won by Milan over Muncie Central, 32-30.

Money was raised to recreate the last shot in the form of a painting. There's also a blurry image taken from film of Bobby's famous shot.

Here's Bobby with the painting.
