Video: 3-foot-8 senior makes basket of a lifetime
See the Pennsylvania senior nail a memorable shot.

Mike Purvis of Notre Dame-Green Pond (Easton, Pa.) is just 3-foot-8, but he made the basket of a lifetime Wednesday on senior night.

The senior caught a pass at the free throw line off the opening tip and banked home the first points of his career. We give style points for the celebratory strut as his teammates joined the hoopla. 

His shot ignited a 65-50 victory over Palmerton (Pa.)

Everything came together for Purvis.



"It felt pretty good," Purvis said. "I was actually kind of scared I wouldn't make it because I wasn't hitting in warm-ups. But I took my time and nailed it on the first try."
