If it hurts your eyes to watch York Suburban's Mitch Kemp shoot a basketball, you can blame his older sister Jess.
Kemp's shooting motion, which he described as "awful" includes catching the ball down by his knees, lining his feet off to the side and then putting such a high arc on the ball that it rises as much as 20 feet in the air before falling through or near the basket.
"People have told me that it's weird and asked me why I did it, but my sister has the same shot," Kemp said. The senior's older sister scored 1,000 points at Suburban and went on to play at York College. "She's right-handed, but she has an arc just like mine. I guess it's family tradition or something."
It's strange and it's unique, but it works. Kemp is leading the Trojans (12-0) in scoring with 16.3 points per game and has remained loyal to his unorthodox style and doesn't get much resistance from his coaches.
