I agree. Even tracking the ball in mid air and predicting where it is going is unbelievable for a highschool student to do. Keep in mind the delay of the camera and you might only get the ball in one frame. You would have to differentiate it from all the other balls on the field and then calculate its projectory, then calculate the angle of the shooter and shoot, all within a split second.


Even with the air idea, not feasible.
