Many have heard the story of Jason McElwain. About 8 years ago, Jason then 17 years old, was the basketball manager for Greece Athena High School basketball team. Jason got to dress in uniform for his last home game ever with the team. With his team up by a large amount in the 4th quarter, Jason's coach decides to put him in. With a huge surprised to the crowd, Jason goes off for 20 points in 4 minutes shooting an astounding 6-10 from the 3-point line. Jason accomplished all of this while suffering from Autism. Jason has surpassed the label, that kids with Autism can't participate in sports. With Jason's outstanding performance, maybe he could've helped his team all season.
