Tipping Point

If you were ever a high school athlete, then more than likely you indulged in a similar daydream from time to time: With the game clock ticking towards zero in a state championship game and your team's success in your hands, you grasp the opportunity to step up and be the unquestionable hero in a moment when the stakes are at their absolute highest. It's an incredibly unrealistic scenario. Those moments aren't just once-in-a-lifetime, they're once-in-a-thousand-people's-lifetimes. It's Hollywood magic, art that real life admires from behind a velvet rope but never dares to imitate.

Well, almost never. For Josh Adams of Chaparral High School in Colorado, daydreams can't compare to reality.
