The 3-point shot I was the captain of my varsity cheerleading squad my senior year. My best friend had always been one of the starters on the male varsity basketball team. He was a 4.0 student, valedictorian of my senior class, and has gone on to be quite successful in medicine. He and I did everything together, including attending prom. While we really were “just friends,” I had always bragged to my family and friends about how smart he was. One night at an away basketball game, he went to shoot a 3-point shot. He made it! He began to celebrate and looked around a bit confused when he noticed that no one else was cheering. He immediately realized what everyone else had already figured out. He had just scored three points for the opposing team. Well, I could no longer refer to him as my “genius prom date.” To this day, he is remembered as the guy who shot the basket at the wrong end of the court. We all still love him anyway.
