But Nicholas Bennett, a senior at North Hall High School in Gainesville, Georgia, didn’t hit a game-winning basket. His achievement last Saturday was even rarer.
Bennett, who has autism, has served as the Trojans’ student manager all four years he’s been in high school. His duties include keeping the gym clean and making sure the basketballs are properly inflated. And for fun, he practices taking half-court shots.

“This was such an exciting experience,” Bennett told the Gainesville Times afterward. “It felt like I was in heaven.”
