17-year-old Rebecca Gentry isn't really a sports fan.
 
However, when her English teacher offered extra credit to fill out a NCAA bracket she thought she should give it ago.
 
Gentry picked the right games all the way down to the final four making her bracket one of the best in the nation!
 
"Everybody's like so how many mistakes do you got? Everybody was saying like 25 or 30. I'm like, 'Oh my god, did  I  really screw up? Did I do this bracket wrong? Should there be more mistakes?'" says Gentry.
 
Gentry says shes only got 3 games wrong.
 
While she is not getting the 50 thousand dollar grand prize some website's offer, she say she's happy with the box of free donuts she's getting from her teacher.
