Meet the team that moved their game to let Lauren Hill play

In the opening seconds of her first college basketball game, Mount St. Joseph University freshman Lauren Hill made the shot heard 'round the world. The story of her terminal brain cancer and her celebration in spite of it has been told all over the globe. But while most news cameras were focused on the celebration at center court, or the crowd of 10,000 cheering fans, our cameraman noticed something else remarkable. Steve Hartman reports.

I so appreciate CBS catching and highlighting the classiness and exemplary sportsmanship of the Hiram womens' team. Lauren deserves all the recognition she has received for her courage and determination to live her life to the fullest she can. It's just nice that the Hiram team members were also was noted for their contribution to make Lauren's day "the best day she's ever had."

[@mikewrasman5103]

That is real sportsmanship by the Lady Terriers. Good job, Hiram College.

[@dttruman]

I'll bet ESPN was not too happy about this. This display here shows how Lauren Hill is so much more deserving of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award on the ESPY's

[@benahern7410]

[@mikewrasman5103]

ESPN blew it by selecting Jenner! A sex change over an inspirational story of Lauren Hill!!! Bad job, ESPN!!!!

[@patriciabranson5557]

This is a textbook example of the difference between loving the game and loving the win. These ladies obviously love to the game more than they loved the win.

That’s the spirit America needs right now , everyone coming together as family , helping each other towards a common good that enriches all, the feel good factor is what has been missing the last few years, be the change you want to see in your community watch how it ripples out to become a wave of hope and happiness.

Character is not built on how much money you make, or how good of an athlete you are. Character is built inside your heart. It's built in values taught be good parents, good coaches, and teammates. We need more of this in the world today.

[@CRL73hippo]

An amazing group of young women, from both teams. I applaud all of you.

[@mikewrasman5103]

I agree. Lauren Hill should have been honored by ESPN, not Jenner. What did Jenner do to deserve the honor. Nothing at all.

This is the kind of sportsmanship people need everyday

[@jameslandis4502]

This made me cry parents, fans Should be proud and this should be shown to Kids to teach them SPORTSMANSHIP 🌹

[@iinspireNP]

This is why I liked sports and why I joined a team as an analytic personeel. To show sportsmanship when needed and people just learn themselves that if you play in sport, all you gotta do is show sportsmanship and everyone will care, forget about the score sometimes.

[@kennydunk]

The story made me cry. I'm bout to have a baby girl and I couldn't hold it. My prayers to her family. I know I'm 6 years late but her memory lives on. 🙏

LOL If I saw this in a "Hallmark" movie on cable I'd probably switch it off thinking it couldn't be possible. Bless all the girls on both teams for their loving kindness. RIP Lauren.
