8th Grader Makes Amazing Full-Court Shot; When TV News Comes Around, He Does It Again (VIDEO)

As just about every organized basketball game played in the U.S. is now filmed, we've been seeing more and more headlines about full-court game-winning shots as the clock expires. One of the latest amazing heaves came from the hands of 13-year-old Easton Gamoke, an 8th grader in Winona, Minn.

At a winter tournament in Holmen, Wis., the score was tied in the final seconds when Easton, 13, received the inbounds pass. He threw the ball the length of the court, and it went in, securing the win for the Winona Running Rebels and Easton's immutable place at the cool kids' table.

Minneapolis TV station KMSP went to interview Easton and his team, and for fun, they tried to replicate his Hail Mary shot. After others came nowhere near the hoop, Easton took three dribbles and launched the ball, his first try. What do you think happened?
