Pete Hegseth handles Air Force-Navy coin toss after showing off basketball skills at Academy

It turns out that the Secretary of War can ball, and he sank an impressive series of three-pointers.

He must be an absolute menace in Pop-A-Shot down at Dave & Buster's.

Imagine if international disputes were settled with three-point shooting competitions or games of Horse?

While he missed one, Sec. Hegseth clearly found a groove and was on autopilot through most of that impressive performance.

Of course, Hegseth was not there to show off his skills when it comes to shooting from range; he was at the Air Force Academy to speak to cadets ahead of the Falcons-Midshipmen game on Saturday afternoon.

Just before kickoff, the Secretary of War was down on the field for the coin toss.

Air Force wound up winning this one 14-9 to go 3-1 on the season.

They'll visit Northern Illinois next weekend while the Midshipmen - who dropped to 1-3 - will head home to host Tulsa.
