13 year-old Derrick only knows that he’s been asked to shoot a free-throw, but everyone else knows that his mom, whom he hasn’t seen in 8 months, is standing right behind him, freshly home from serving in Kuwait.
Lt. Col. Cotina Jenkins-Sellers explains that she’s afraid he might be mad at her if he cries in front of all his friends and the girls in the gym… But it doesn’t matter – he cries but the crowd still goes wild.
Nice work, Mom and Dad—and thanks for your service.
Okay, maybe the ref is a little surprised too!
