High school student section distracts free-throw shooter with fake 'birth'

A student section at an Ohio high school gave birth to one of the best free-throw distraction techniques ever.

The "Red Regiment" student section from Sheridan High School in Thornville, Ohio, recently pulled off an all-time heckle job against an opposing foul shooter by staging a mock birth in the stands.

After a short time in labor under a sheet, the patient gave birth to a...teenage boy! How sweet. And, most important, the other team clanked the foul shot.

The "birth" was reminiscent of the "942 Crew" student section at Arizona State, with its famed "Curtain of Distraction" where everything from a wrecking ball to kissing unicorns might pop out to distract an opponent.
