Austin Worthen, 3rd Grade Student, Makes Half-Court Shot To Beat The Buzzer

WATCH: Third Grader's AMAZING Half-Court Shot

Every kid deserves a moment in the spotlight, and Austin Worthen's 15 minutes of fame came just seconds before the buzzer.

The third grade student hauled the ball toward the basket in a last-ditch effort to score some extra points during a tournament in Oklahoma. And when Austin's half-court shot a success, the boy received a round of applause from enthusiastic audience members who were astounded by the feat.

Oh yeah, and his team won the game. Talk about a good day.

But Austin's basket wasn't just a lucky shot. His father told NBC affiliate KOBI that his son had practiced the shot time and time again.
