High School Coach Sinks Shot Blindfolded!

Olathe Northwest High school is all the talk on sports news this week when the school decided to pull a prank on the girl’s basketball coach. They offered Joel Branstrom a chance to win an all expense paid trip to the NCAA Final Four tournament if he could sink a half court shot blindfolded! The students gathered in the school gym for the event and were told beforehand to cheer as if Barnstrom made the shot, regardless of the outcome. Needless to say the students doubted the former University of Kansas’s star player’s ability to sink the shot. When blindfolded Joel Barnstrom stepped up the half court line he shocked everyone when the shot sailed through the air and swished into the net. The students cheered however it was out of genuine amazement that he made the basket, not the fake cheering they had planning in the prank.

The students were so sure that Barnstrom wouldn’t make the shot that they never secured the Final Four tickets however now with such national coverage; Joel has been bombarded with offers. Barnstrom’s video has made it to the top of ESPN’s sports center top 10 countdown, on CNN.com, and appeared on Good Morning America, where he was asked by host Robin Roberts to try the shot again. Joel took the half court shot and it bounced off the rim twice but did not fall into the hoop, a very close second attempt. Congrats to Joel on his accomplishment and trip to the Final Four!
