ESPN airs DC long shot

By Marc Pendleton | Tuesday, March 10, 2009, 07:09 PM

The Dayton Christian boys basketball team has gone national.

Casey Weber’s 90-foot swish in last Friday’s sectional 63-46 defeat of Arcanum at UD Arena has truely evolved into “the shot heard ‘round the world.”

ESPN News aired the bomb at 6:27 p.m. Tuesday, March 10. ESPN’s Sports Center followed soon afterward.

As a bonus, SC also aired the WDTN video of Weber reprising the magic moment during Monday’s practice. He bombed out on his second attempt from about 80 feet at the Far Hills Community Church gymnasium.
