Francesca Belibi, a 6-foot-1 sophomore at Regis Jesuit in Aurora, Colorado, on Friday night became the state's first girls' basketball player to dunk in a postseason game.
Belibi's first-quarter dunk accounted for two of her game-high 21 points in Regis Jesuit's 64-35 win over Fort Collins, the Aurora Sentinel reports. The win put Regis Jesuit (18-6) into the Sweet 16 of the Class 5A girls' state basketball tournament.
Remarkably, it was the third time this season that Belibi, 15, has dunked in a game.
The first, on Jan. 6, made her a viral sensation.
Stop us if this is getting old. The second came a month later.

Belibi, whose parents were born in Cameroon, walked into a Regis Jesuit open gym on Sept. 20, 2015, and told coaches she thought she could play.
Last February, she made her way into the team's starting lineup as a freshman and has become one of the most exciting prospects in the country.
Belibi and Regis Jesuit next play Fossil Ridge (Fort Collins) on Feb. 28.
