Lexi Isebrand pulls off an insane shot in an Iowa basketball game

Check out this shot from an Iowa girls basketball game.

Lexi Isebrand pulled off one of the best plays of the week on Friday night, a combination of agility and awareness to make a spectacular basket.

A guard for Forest City (Forest City, Iowa), Isebrand’s circus shot came in a 70-35 win over West Hancock (Britt, Iowa). With the win, Forest City improves to 15-4 and has sole possession of first place in the North Iowa Conference.

Now, on to the play. This is all sorts of fun from Isebrand.

On a fast break and dribbling to her left, Isebrand seemed to draw some light contact (no foul was called). With her back turned and falling backward, Isebrand put up a two-handed, looping shot that fell in with a perfect swish.

Quite the play (and awareness) from the sophomore guard):

 

Isebrand also plays volleyball for Forest City.

Was it a real circus shot? Based on the incredible rarity and difficulty of it for sure, there is an aspect of it being a circus shot.

But this was a good bit of awareness from the sophomore guard rather than a trick play. Circus shot? Maybe simply a smart shot.
