Here's your feel good story for the day:
TRHS C-Level basketball team had their last game today. We were down by 12 with a minute left. Coach puts in the players who rarely get playing time, including "A".
"A" had never played basketball before this season, and never scored a point the whole season.
With 12 seconds left, she drove to the basket. She dribbled off her foot, and the ref called a shooting foul so she would shoot 2 free throws.
There was no foul.
Other coach (from our rival school!) said, "Umm..what?" Ref went over and quietly and discreetly explained the situation. Rival coach smiled.
"A" throws two air balls. Ref blows his whistle and says, "lane violation, she gets one more shot."
There was no lane violation.
"A" swooshes a perfect free throw! EVERYONE in the gym cheers as if she just scored a three pointer at the buzzer of the NBA finals.
"A" is thrilled- absolutely joyous and exuberant, pumping her fist as if she did score a three pointer at the buzzer of the NBA finals.
Her mom wasn't the only one with tears in her eyes at the perfect Disney ending.
And it really, truly was the perfect ending. Who cares what the score was? Not one person in that gym.
