Clark Harris, a Cincinnati Bengal, who used to attend the NJ school, walked out onto the court, holding his 2-year-old son\u2019s hand. Little Trent Harris began his adorable rendition of \u201cThe Star-Spangled Banner\u201d next to his father.<\/p>\n<p>Trent hesitantly begins to sing, whispering the first line. He gets a little more confident with the second line, and Daddy moves off the court quietly.
