Mom's stunning half-court shot takes home big prize
MINNEAPOLIS -- A Minnesota mom sunk a half-court shot to win a discount on tuition for her daughter, CBS Minneapolis station WCCO-TV reports.
Angela Ramey was chosen to attempt a half-court shot to receive half-off tuition at Bethany Academy in Bloomington for her daughter.
Ramey shoots the ball granny style.
At first it seems as though she airballs - the school said her eyes were closed - but after the ball hit the floor it bounced into the basket.
Ramey's Shocked ShotThe unbelieveable half-court alley-oop shot and Angela's shocked reaction when she realizes the ball went in the basket! Thanks Alex Matheson (videographer and BA dad) for capturing Angela Ramey and Grace last Friday, deciding who's going to take the shot to try to score half-off tuition next year. Angela throws the basketball granny style with her eyes closed, then screams in disbelief when the cheering students and staff convince her she scored. She's jumping amid 41,040 meals packed by 235 students during Friday's "Bethany Loves Bloomington" meal packing event Friday, a service project undertaken to help feed the hungry in Bloomington and the surrounding communities.The Ramey's won the chance for the half-court/half-tuition prize by being the family who raised the most money during the school's fundraiser.
