The students at Olathe Northwest High School’s prank backfired when they attempted to pull a prank on Joel Branstrom, one of their science teachers and the girls basketball coach. The plan was to have Mr. Branstrom shoot a half-court shot blindfolded. The students promised him NCAA Final Four tickets if he made the shot. Beforehand, the student assembly was instructed to applaud like crazy after his shot attempt to make Mr. Branstrom believe that he had made the shot, as they all expected him to miss. Mr. Branstrom, however, actually made the shot!!

Keep an eye on some of these guys, they could be running the show in a few years, from Sportingo.com:
1. Raymond Felton (Charlotte Bobcats): It is time for Felton to step his game up. Larry Brown is the right kind of coach for this guy. Unlike Stephon Marbury, Felton is known to accept authority and he should be willing to change his on-and-off offense for a pass-first mentality. In all fairness this is sort of a last shot for Felton. He has put up decent numbers, but at this point he has looked more like a backup and less like the starter they were hoping him to be. continue reading...
