One post about the state tournament could not be enough. The following video was in my opinion better that seeing any of the teams win a state championship. This is the last few seconds of the Glenns Ferry vs. Melba game on Friday afternoon at Capital High School. Watch # 23 from G.F. (in the white) ~ he is a boy with down's syndrome & the coach put him in for the last few seconds of the game. This is actually the second video - he tried a shot and it didn't go in, Melba rebounded and the refs immediately called them for traveling - which of course they didn't do. They then inbounded the ball and this is what followed:
He got the shot after the buzzer, but it didn't matter to him - watch him celebrate! We were in the gym for the next game along with the West J fans. I should have kept the video going - fans from all 4 teams stood up and cheered for the boy. It was one of those awesome moments that help to keep it all in perspective!
