Eleanor Bangle, a senior shooting guard for Austin High, stepped up to the mic and belted out a phenomenal national anthem before the team's 53-37 win.

AUSTIN, Texas — "The Star-Spangled Banner" serves as a customary start to sporting events across America. The athletes line up courtside or on the sideline of the field as an artist grabs the mic and opens up the pre-game festivities.
