GREENSBORO — In a few years, when the girls from Our Lady of Grace and St. Leo Catholic varsity middle school basketball teams think back to the games they played, the details are sure to be fuzzy or lost over time.

It’s a good bet, however, that they will remember when Sarah Quintana, a special-needs eighth-grade student at Our Lady of Grace, drained a three-point shot that had both teams standing and cheering.

Quintana made her three-pointer on March 23 and then did it again when the teams met at St. Leo in Winston-Salem a few days later. She took two more shots during that game and made both of those, too.

Quintana, who has been at Our Lady of Grace since the fourth grade, has been a part of the school’s special-needs program PACE.

After her story circulated online, Quintana made the ESPN Sports Center Top 10 plays on March 29. Video from WYFM-News2.
