Terrible Half-Court Shot Turns Into $5,000 Miracle

Minnesota mom Angela Ramey has turned into an unlikely basketball star.

A video of Ramey taking a half-court shot for a chance to win $5,000 off next year’s tuition for her daughter Grace at Bethany Academy has gone viral. That’s thanks to both the shot – which sees her try an underarm heave which falls short and hits the floor, only to bounce into the net – and her shocked reaction.

The footage first appeared on the Bethany Academy Facebook page on December 4 as a Vimeo video, but a December 7 upload of it as a Facebook video had over 100,000 views at time of writing.
