Plymouth Whitemarsh grad and comedian shares video of 1997 buzzer beater that sent Colonials to state championship game

Lafayette Hill native, Plymouth Whitemarsh High School grad, and now comedian Matt Goldich recently shared a video of the 1997 state semifinal baseball game between Plymouth Whitemarsh and Chambersburg. The video shows Plymouth Whitemarsh’s John Salmons making a last-second shot to win the game. Salmons would go on to play for the University of Miami and have a 13-year career in the NBA.

Goldich was calling the game for the student-run television station. He is currently a writer for Late Night with Seth Meyers. You can watch his 2024 comedy special, No Questions Asked, here.

The Colonials defeated Franklin Regional Senior High School 50-45 to capture the state crown.
