Lauren Hill, who has inoperable brain cancer, scores in first career basketball game

Lauren Hill now has her own Wheaties box

Lauren Hill, the terminally ill basketball player for Division III Mount St. Joseph, now has her very own Wheaties box. 

Hill was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor last year. When doctors told her she would like not live past December, her school petitioned the NCAA to move her team's first game to an earlier date so she could fulfill her dream of playing in a college basketball game.

Hill scored four points in Mount St. Joseph's win last Sunday. She was named her conference's Player of the Week.
