No matter how tough the situation, the miracle is in the person. Jason McElwain personified that miracles can happen. In his team’s final home game of the season, McElwain, who is autistic and team manager for the Greece Athena High School basketball team, entered the game with four minutes to go. It was his first and only appearance for the Athena varsity team in this Rochester suburb.

The 5foot-6inches manager hit six 3-point shots and a 2-pointer and was carried off the court on his teammates’ shoulders.

High school coach Jim Johnson teaches a valuable life lesson on the court as he relates his role in a feel-good sports story that made national headlines.
