Video of Nitin Reddy's Senior Night 3-pointer

Bookmark and Share

As you can read in this game story, Green Hope manager Nitin Reddy -- who has special needs -- got a chance to play on senior night in the Falcons' 61-34 win Tuesday night.

The Green Hope students were chanting for Nitin to get into the game.

He did with 1:42 left.

It takes for Reddy (#24) awhile to get his bearings.

He first lines up in a wrong spot at the free throw line. His first two shots were well off the mark (he usually shoots from straightaway, but took all six of his 3-pointers from the left wing against Cary).

But his fourth 3-point attempt -- after almost hitting the shot clock on a high bounce off the rim -- fell straight through.

What resulted, was pandemonium (around the 2:50 mark).

Around the 3:48 mark, the Green Hope students chant his name.

After the game (around the 4:50 mark) his teammates carry him on their shoulders off the floor.

Here's a link to the video on our website, and it's also embedded below
