In a modest gymnasium in a small Maine town, a middle school physical‑education teacher has turned the art of shooting hoops into a headline‑making feat.
During a timed challenge, he launched an astonishing 112 three‑pointers, sank 155 free throws, and nailed 78 half‑court shots, each tally earning a spot in the Guinness World Records.
A Record‑Breaking Hour
The accomplishment, captured on live video, sparked cheers from his students and a wave of applause from parents who gathered to witness the spectacle.
Already eyeing the next milestone, the educator has announced plans to attempt a new benchmark later this year, promising yet another display of precision and stamina.
Local media have dubbed him "Dr. Buckets," a nickname that has quickly spread through social platforms, underscoring the blend of humor and admiration that surrounds his pursuits.
The Man Behind the Moniker
Beyond the numbers, the teacher’s approach reflects a broader philosophy: using play to engage students, foster confidence, and demonstrate that discipline can be both fun and rewarding.
Reporter Tony Dokoupil chronicled the story, highlighting not only the athletic prowess but also the teacher’s dedication to inspiring youngsters to aim high, both on the court and in the classroom.
As the community celebrates his achievements, the story serves as a reminder that record‑setting moments can emerge from the most unexpected places, even a school gym.
