Pre-order your Indiana Hoosiers The Cheerleaders Save the Day Bobblehead. On March 17th, 2022, 12th-seeded Indiana faced fifth-seeded Saint Mary’s in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. A shot by Indiana forward Race Thompson resulted in the basketball getting stuck behind the backboard on a camera mount, bringing the game to a halt. When an official was unsuccessful in dislodging the ball with a mop handle, Cerny and Paris sprung into action. Paris hoisted Cerny 13 feet into the air to retrieve the ball and provided the tournament’s first viral moment. “Oh, what a play!” CBS play-by-play announcer Andrew Catalon excitedly said on the broadcast. “The cheerleader saves the day! And that’s her one shining moment! This place is on its feet! The cheerleader is the hero in Portland!”
When Paris lifted Cerny, who reached up and grabbed the ball, the Moda Center crowd gave the pair a standing ovation. In an in-game interview with the heroes, sideline reporter Andy Katz asked Cerny how comfortable she is being that high in the air. “Oh, very comfortable,” she said. “Every single day, we stunt together. That was nothing, really.” When asked how much she trusts Paris, Cerny responded, “With my life.” Despite the heroics, Indiana lost the game to the Gaels, 82-53. Cerny and Paris quickly became viral sensations and were even included during the playing of “One Shining Moment,” which is played at the conclusion of the championship game to a montage of highlights from the tournament. The bobblehead is officially licensed by Indiana University and produced in conjunction with Cassidy Cerny and Nathan Paris.
