Great Story About A High School Kid Who Gets A Chance To Play

The Inky had a great story about an autistic high school senior who was the devoted and loyal manager for the varsity basketball team. Well, the coach decided to let the kid suit up for a late-season game and the kid actually played int he game. And he scored 20 points when he made 6 out of 10 three-point shots (maybe he can give lessons to the Sixers). It's a good story so I provided the link below. As the star of the game, he had a great quote... "I was as hot as a pistol". And that is from a kid who did not speak until he was five years old. Enjoy.
