Did anyone else hear the story of the autistic boy who scored 20 points in a high school basketball game a few weeks back? I heard his coach on the radio this week, and then found a link to an ESPN clip that aired on sportscenter about it. Wow. Truly inspirational and a real tear-jerker to be sure.
The boy was the manager for his high school team, and during their last home game of his senior year, his coach put him in the game with 4:00 left in the game. He then proceeded to shoot 7 for 13 from the field, including 6 for 10 from 3-point range for a total of 20 points in less than 3 minutes. The crowed was going nuts, and the students had made signs with his face on them because they heard he might play. I must admit it brought tears to my eyes! Do a google search and watch the video. It's well worth the time!
Until next time...
