A ‘monstrous’ dunk at Charles City

CHARLES CITY - For most basketball players, dunking is one of the ultimately, god-like goals they all want to reach.

Last season, Jaden Foster reached that goal.

Foster is a 6-foot-3 power forward for the Coments as a sophomore. In his sixth year of playing basketball, he achieved the long-sought goal to dunk.

It was the last game of the 2014-15 basketball season and the Comets were playing at Waukon High School. The game was all but over with the junior varsity having a 20 point lead over the Indians. With about four minutes left, the miraculous happened.

The Comets were on defense and got a steal. Foster recovered the ball, dribbled into the paint and threw down a monstrous dunk.

'It felt like I was above the entire gym,” he said.

Foster hopes to throw down more jaw-dropping dunks this season and is working hard to reach that goal.

But for now he'll keep working on mastering that dunk.
