CBS made me kwhy
Those stinkers.
Did you see the story about, Jason McElwain, the 17 year old high school kid who is a highly functioning autistic and manager of his high school basketball team? In the final home game the coach had him suit up and put him in the last 4 minutes of the game. He missed his first shot - but then hit the zone and sank 6 three pointers - If you didn't see it, try to find a clip of the game. Just watching how his teammates and classmates erupted with cheers of joy, which only compounded in intensity with each made shot, will, at the very least, make you sniffle and most likely fill you with great expectations for all of the people affected by his story.
Jason and his family not only had their story featured on CBS but they got to go to the final 4 weekend and cheer on Florida to victory Monday evening.
