Will Siever is more than just a student manager. He’s a significant part of the heartbeat of Vincennes Rivet High School. During the break between periods of a recent game, it was Siever’s time to shine, and he absolutely made the most of it.

Siever, who has Down syndrome, was given a shot from half court during the halftime break between periods. Connecting on the shot would earn Siever a cash prize of an indeterminate value. He diligently lined up the attempt from about five feet behind the center circle, took two big strides toward the center and hurled a shot overhead at the hoop. The result? Nothing but net.

For Siever, that was just the start of a truly magical sequence. The teen immediately sprang into celebration, taking a half-moon victory lap before returning to the area he lined up the shot from and dropping to the floor in delirium, pulling his shirt above his head.

The entire scene was one of unadulterated joy, the kind which only comes to those who truly deserve it. Based on what he means to his school, it’s hard to argue that Siever is anything short of that.
