Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the upside with Jordan A dose of good news,
because it's a big world out there. March madness, as
it always does, has gripped the nation, but one story
of faith and resilience really stands out. It involves a
female college player by the name of Bailey Cinnamon Daniel,
a junior guard for Leslie University. Now, interestingly, she was
cut from her high school team because of a certain

(00:22):
physical disadvantage. You see, Miss Cinnamon Daniel was born with
a right arm too small for her to use adequately,
but that didn't stop her from making history, becoming a
hero and a role model for so many others. During
the season, she was playing guard against Fitzburg State and
attempted a three point shot with her left hand and swished.
The ball fell straight through the net, giving her the

(00:42):
distinction of being the first female basketball player with only
one arm to score in a Division three game. And
seven weeks later, on her birthday, she did it again.
The player who was so disappointed when she was cut
from the senior high school team came back to make
college history. And that's the upside with Jordan WZ. Boston's
news ratio. Yeah,
