First grader hits free throw so his school gets the day after the Super Bowl off.

Posted by Jon Henseler on

In all honesty I'm not sure what the context is here, I'm guessing this is a school in the Baltimore or San Francisco areas, but the bottom line is this 1st grader had the last shot at getting his school the day after the Super Bowl off and flat out drained it. Talk about a top life moment. Like if anyone needed to pull a Costanza and get out on a high note here it's my man Blake Harper. Everything is always a little more magnified in your mind when you're that age but I'm here to tell you that there is somewhere between a 0 and -15% chance he ever has the feeling he has in this video again. I remember once in 7th grade I was on the B team at my middle school, Holy Name, and drained a shot at the buzzer against CCA to get the game to overtime which we eventually won. Now I didn't end up probably dying in an ensuing avalanche of people but I did get a mention in the morning announcements the next day and it is still a top 3 moment in my life. So while I feel great for Blake, I also feel terrible for him. He peaked too young.

PS: If you don't think I'm going to start using this at Strange Brew international headquarters you are out of your mind. Make a basket Brewer and we're not blogging on Monday!
