Aransas Pass High School Scores Sports Equipment as Winner of YouNews™ and KIIITV.com Contest!
The basketball coach at Aransas Pass High School is going to be doing a bit of shopping this spring, courtesy of KIIITV and YouNews™. The school recently scored $250 in sports equipment as a result of a video submission to KIIITV.com and the YouNews Drive, Dribble & Dunk Contest. The winning submission features Aransas Pass player, G.A. Hill scoring the final basket against Orange Grove, with just 3 seconds remaining on the clock. After a wild celebration, Hill jumped onto his computer and uploaded video of his stellar performance to the YouNews portal.
