Way to go Mustafa

Former MICDS standout Mustafa Abdul-Hamid lived out the dream of every young basketball player last night.
A redshirt junior at UCLA, Mustafa hit a game-winning jumper at the buzzer to give the Bruins a 62-61 victory over Washington in historic Pauley Pavilion.
After U-Dub took the lead with its own last second shot, Mustafa took the inbounds pass, dribbled to the head of the key, gave a pump fake (a la Kobe Bryant) and sank the game-winner as time expired.
Mustafa's heroics earned him the No. 1 Play of the Night on ESPN's Sportscenter.
It could not have happened to a nicer young man. Not only is Mustafa a fine basketball player, but he is a tremendous young person as well. I was so happy to see him have that moment, I almost cried. It was wonderful to see. He has worked so hard on and off the court and in the community. It is great to see him get this kind of national attention.
After a stellar career at MICDS, Mustafa had a lot of scholarship offers. He could have even gone on to Harvard. Instead, he decided to walk on at UCLA, where he got to experience a couple of trips to the Final Four.
Although his playing time was limited, coach Ben Howland respected his efforts enough to reward Mustafa with a scholarship last year. However, a wrist injury cut his season short after two games and he took a medical redshirt.
Even when he is one the sidelines, Mustafa always manages to keep himself ready just in case he is called to duty. He hit a game-winning shot at the buzzer in the Bruins' one-point victory over Concordia.
Here's a salute to you, Mustafa. Congratulations of your game-winning shot.
Now, everyone else will be able to see how much of a fine young man you are.
Excellent.
