Jason McElwain- Put me in coach!

I had to post this. Jason McElwain was a student and water boy for his high school basketball team. His coach let him play in the last few minutes of the final game of the season.

"I just wanted to score a basket," McElwain said.

"I"m just sitting there saying `Let him score just one point,'" his mom, Deb said.

Score he did! 20 points. That was a big deal to Jason and his mom. Jason was born autistic. You can read about autism here. You can read the story and watch two videos here and here.

If these videos don't make you feel good nothing will.

Chad has a great video of this up at CC.
