In an interview with CTV News Channel, 18-year-old Reid Demelo and Port Moody high school basketball coach Greg Schellenberg recounted“All of a sudden, two minutes left in the game and the crowd starts chanting in unison ‘We want Reid! We want Reid!’” recalled Schellenberg, who said Demelo is in the gym practising “all the time.”
In clips posted online, a teammate on the Heritage Woods Secondary basketball team Kodiaks is seen passing the ball to Demelo in the final seconds of a game against Kitsilano Secondary. Demelo, a Grade 12 student, takes his shot from the three-point line and it goes in just as the buzzer sounds to end the game. Demelo and his teammates -- plus fans who rushed the court -- then run around and cheer in celebration.
Video from the game has spurred a wave of approval for the school’s spirit and inclusion. “Everyone has the opportunity to live their potential when we #ChooseToInclude! Go Reid!” wrote the Special Olympics Canada account on Instagram.
Pretty cool moment which has been shared a bizillion times already, the kid was mobbed and made him a celeb/hero, awesome.
Oh what a feeling!!! Nice job bud 🙌
