Way to go Jason!
| Thu, 02-23-2006 - 7:42pm |
There was a story on our local news that a high schooler (in New York - I believe) named Jason set a new school record. Jason is HFA and is a helper on the boys basketball team. He is at every practice and game - the team adores him - but he is not a player. The coach told him that he was going to let him play in the next game. Not only did he play but he scored 20 points. 18 of those were 3-pointers!!!! That is SIX 3-pointers!!!! They showed some of the game on the TV - the crowd was going crazy - it was incredible. What a day for Jason - Way To G0!
(I wonder how he handled all the noise and commotion - incredible!)

Thanks Guys!
I heard about this last night at Bunco. Some ladies told me they saw it and I was bummed not too. Now I have. It is awesome.
I have to forward this to my SIL. Her little guy is awesome at shooting baskets too.

Holy cow, I LIVE in that town!!! How on earth did I miss that story? Funny, too, because I was watching the news the other night and they were saying that after the break, they were going to do a story about some huge basketball moment... and I turned off the TV, because I'm not at all interested in sports! Thanks so much for passing on that link. So I take it this story got national coverage, then?

What a GREAT story! I emailed this to everyone I know. Plus, it made me so happy that several people called me tonight, not knowing I had seen this, to tell me it was on CBS news. So cool for Jason and his family. He's my hero too!
