BUCKETS — A middle schooler put on a shooting display last week that even Stephen Curry would be impressed by en route to a $10,000 prize.

Seventh grader JJ Frank from Minot, North Dakota, made a layup, free throw, 3-pointer and half-court shot all in a row — without missing — during a basketball game at Bishop Ryan Catholic School on Jan. 27.

The video was sent to local news station KX News by audience member Jarid Lundeen, showing the impeccable shooting run, followed by a frenzied celebration fit for the fine performance.

Several students lifted Frank up in the air as a crowd — including members of the basketball team — circled around the young champion. It was a scene straight out of a movie, and a moment the youngster won't soon forget.

Now, if you were 12 years old with $10,000 suddenly in your pocket, what would you do with it?
