Special Olympics athlete Mike Habayeb (left) would claim his moment of fame at half-time with a jaw dropping half-court shot.
On January 16, at the second annual Special Olympics “Pack the Place” basketball game, athlete Mike Habayeb was asked to demonstrate a half-court shot. If you were not there to see the results, take a look at this video package that was put together and edited by volunteer assistant coach Len Benbenek of the moment.

Swoosh!! Awesome shot Mike! You led the Special Olympics Team as top scorer and rebounder all season long. You are a great basketball player and we’re glad you are only a sophomore!
Thanks to our great coaches Jill Musil and Len Benbenek for a great season and thanks to “Coach B,” as the players call him, for getting Mike’s amazing shot on You Tube. Also thanks to Coach Musil and Coach B for getting the shot on the Athletics Special Olympics Page on RB’s website, to the faculty, and to the Clarion for all of RB to see.
