Katie Six of Harrison Township described the now-viral moment as surreal.

“I just like threw my hands out like he was coming to me and it was just like a crazy, out-of-body feeling,” Six said.

Six and Gibbs didn’t know each other, but that didn’t stop them from sharing a moment of celebration.

After the game, Gibbs also commented on it.

“It was fun,” Gibbs said. “I didn’t know who it was but appreciate the help.”

Six said it was a night she’ll never forget.

“You see it happen here and there but you don’t ever think it’s going to happen to you and the fact that it did is what I think I’m more shocked about,” she said. “It was great.”
