Unbelievable until you see it with your own eyes.

I consider myself a sporty kind of guy who loves the occaisional video clip on ESPN of people hitting half court shots to win games and that sort of thing. But when I heard of this amazing feat, I couldn't believe it. I mean the first part, that it happened in Kansas, but the second part of it being on ESPN's top ten plays of the evening made it even more amazing.
Ryan Wedel is a guard from a high school of about the same size I attended that decade ago. Wedel scored 46 points in the game. Now I know, you're thinking "Oh but that's nothing, what about Kobe's 81, or the girl who dropped 113 on one team?"
I don't think they had a spurt like Wedel did.
In two minutes and two seconds, Wedel scored 25 points.
TWENTY-FIVE POINTS!!!
He hit six three-pointers, four technical foul free throws and had an old fashionsed three-point play, in TWO MINUTES!!! Some of those threes he canned were from DEEP. Beyond NBA range even.
I'm too stupid to link it up, but head over to ESPN.com, enter Ryan Wedel and look for the video clip.
Incredible.
