SALT LAKE CITY — Three fun stories from the world of sports in today's From Left Field.

March madness in a classroom

We can't all be basketball stars. It's a sad reality. But with March Madness fever gripping America, these kids at UNC Charlotte have turned their classroom trash can into the Final Four.

I think my favorite part of the video is that they spliced the call of Bryce Drew's famous game winner over the action. And it's an impressive shot, too!

Don't celebrate too much

When Puerto Rico played the Netherlands Monday, the underdog Dutch were rallying thanks to a Jurickson Profar single. That is, until he was picked off by a wily Yadier Molina as he celebrated.

There are important lessons here, but the first: make sure you're safe before you celebrate.

The golf bank shot

Sinking a bunker shot is hard enough, but getting the ball to carom off of your opponent's ball perfectly, so that it falls into the hole? That's impressive.

But that's exactly what Zach Johnson did Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Now I know what I'll be trying on the putting greens for the next few days.
