Awesome! That gave me chills. Nice to hear a great story every once and a while. :D :D Although they said his player career was over, why? Seems like he has some potential. They should make him a permant fixture on the team.

He's a senior who played for the first time in the last game of the season.


And just heard that the 6 3-pointers is the school's new record. Definately an amazing story.

Just goes to show the world that EVERYONE, no matter their situation, has potential in something. Makes you wonder how many people are living undiscovered in their talents.

I heard about that yesterday! In a way, it reminds me of the movie Rudy. I think that is so wonderful! :D
