Mom Appears to Badly Miss Half-Court Shot to Win Tuition for Daughter — It Takes Her a Few Moments to Process What Happens Next

A Bloomington, Minn., mom became the star of a viral video for making a remarkable half-court basket.

According to KSDK-TV, during a school fundraiser at Bethany Academy for Kids Against Hunger, the student who raised the most money was given the opportunity to win half off of their tuition if they could make a half-court basket.

Grace Ramey raised the most money, and she enlisted her mom, Angela, to help her win the prize.

Mom and daughter each missed a shot. On their third attempt, Angela took a deep breath and made a shot that fell short of the basket.

But then the ball bounced — through the hoop.

"I was like, my gosh, made it in! That's incredible!" Grace told KSDK-TV.

Angela told KSDK that there had been times during her childhood where she was "food insecure," and she was happy to be a part of the fundraiser to help those in need.

Due to her mom’s incredible shot, Grace will attend Bethany Academy on a half-tuition scholarship next year.
