The Fremd freshman has been making big shots all season. But none were bigger than the one Ella Todd hit with one second left on Friday night in the Palatine gymnasium. The ninth grader, playing in only her 13th varsity game, took a pass just inside the 3-point line from senior guard Anna Schmitt. Todd dribbled forward about three times and then launched a 14-foot pull-up jumper from the elbow that fell through, lifting Fremd to a dramatic 29-27 triumph over the Pirates, who led nearly every step of the way in the Mid-Suburban League West girls basketball game.
