BUTLER TWP — He only had a handful of points at halftime.
By the end of Butler’s 2012 WPIAL boys basketball playoff game against North Allegheny at Ambridge, Nate Snodgrass forever cemented his name in Golden Tornado basketball lore.
The senior point guard scored more than 30 points that night, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to force overtime, then hit the game-deciding jumper in the extra session after Butler held the ball for nearly four minutes.

Snodgrass scored 1,132 points as a four-year starter during his varsity career. He was fourth on the Tornado’s all-time scoring list at the time of his graduation.
