It was a natural reaction — spontaneous, honest and well, probably deserved. One even, you might hear in a "Batman" movie.

"Holy crap," said the fan after
Blake Fulford of
Tesoro (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) banked in a full-court shot at the end of the third quarter in a home game with Dana Hills.
Fulford, a 6-foot, 160-pound senior, rebounded a miss, actually moved both feet like a quarterback (could have been called for traveling), and sent a right-handed throw flying.
As it got closer, a couple of his teammates on the bench actually jumped up and down, seeming to know it would go in.
It did, bouncing off the backboard first.
The shot wasn't otherwise significant in his team's 57-18 win, but it sure elicited a lot of groans and a lot of reactions. And it only helped to continue the Titans' six-game winning streak.
Fulford has always been capable of making many different sorts of shots. He averaged 17.3 points per game as a starter on the freshman team in 2011-12.
