Mom makes half-court shot in Bloomington, wins half off daughter's tuition

The excitement was building. Angela Ramey and her daughter Grace raised the most money — $1,200 — in a school fundraiser at Bethany Academy in Bloomington. They earned three chances at a half-court basketball shot. If it swished in, the Rameys would win half off the cost of tuition in the next school year.

On their final try, Ramey scooped the basketball and crouched down for the granny-style shot. The ball arced upward and came down — short of the basket. As Ramey was turning away, the ball then took a single bounce and snapped through the net. The crowd at Bethany Academy went nuts. Ramey and her daughter screamed with joy.
