I'm new to this site, and honestly expected the top vids to be the same as on youtube and google..bunch of chicks dancing or kareoke rehashes. I'd not seen this video before until seeing it on videosoft...and all I can say is WOW...This is why sites like this need to exist, to get stuff like this unburied and out there. This video was just awesome. I'm super glad for that kid, I'm sure he'll remember that game for the rest of his life.

Thanks for the kind words Joe - We believe in people power to sift the good stuff. Welcome to the community.

BTW, I was reading somewhere that they have optioned the movie rights for this story - cool stuff.

Yea this guy is a great kid. It's amazing what people can do. Although I can say I've heard enough of it, since I live in Rochester, New York, only 10 minutes away from the high school that he goes to.

They actually are working on a script for the movie or so I've heard. Although how long can the movie really be? That whole clip basically explains it all.

i saw this clip on ebaumsworld.com. it also had another clip that i think goes a little more in depth, but the point remains the same in both. i would definatly go see that movie.

Love this one. It's from my hometown - Rochester, NY.

Greece is the NW suburb of Rochester where I grew up. This happened at Greece Athena High School. I went to Greece Olympia, right down the road.
