CELEBRATE-VILLE — Former West Jordan star Jordan Pryor hit an enormous game-winner for Westminster College Saturday night, and golfer Ha Na Jang celebrated her first win on the LPGA Tour with an epic Samurai celebration.

The Big Game was Sunday, but here are some of our favorite non-Super Bowl celebratory moments from the weekend in sports.

Griffins grab late win

Westminster's men's basketball team was tied at 71-71 with Western New Mexico in a game that appeared destined for overtime. But with one second left, Pryor nailed a game-winner from just under 80 feet to lift Westminster (13-8, 9-8 RMAC) to the 74-71 win.

Western New Mexico (1-21, 1-16 RMAC) scored on a layup with 1.1 seconds left, and the Griffins called timeout. Out of the timeout, Pryor took the inbounds pass, set himself inside the foul line on the far end of the court and heaved a shot toward the basket as the horn sounded.

Click the videos above to see the shot. One of them has emojis overlayed on camera, while the other appears to be taken from a tripod in the stands.

The emojis were the best part, though.

Speaking of buzzer-beaters ...

St. George middle-schooler nails 3-pointer at the buzzer

Eleven-year-old Kameron Larsen hasn't hit high school yet, but the Washington City basketball player looks to have a bright future.

Larsen hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer for the Pine View Ballers in a junior high game, as the video below illustrates.

We're not sure what the final score of the game was (does anyone in junior high basketball?), but props to Kameron for the moment — and epic celebration with his teammates.

And speaking of epic celebrations ...

Jang wins big, celebrates bigger

Jang sank her final putt on the 18th green Saturday at the Coates Golf Championship for her first win on the LPGA Tour.

And Jang celebrated appropriately, spinning her putter like a Samurai sword behind her back after the two-stroke victory.

The moment already gets a 10, but Jong gets an extra 10 points for creativity.
