The J-Mac Story: The shots heard around the world:
Greece, NY (02/25/06) -- By now, much of the country has seen his story: the Greece Athena basketball manager who used his four minutes of play to tie a team record for three-pointers.

Still there has been another, more profound impact from Jason's story.

The Greece School District has already received dozens of emails and phone calls from around the world, many from parents of children who suffer from autism.

Jason, who has been diagnosed with a mild form of autism, scored 20 points in four minutes--including six three-pointers. Just like a perfectly scripted movie, the fan's stormed the court at the end of the game and Jason's teammates carried him off the court.

I am sure that many of you have heard the story by now. However, I am posting yet another triumph for J-Mac and his teammates as they featured a come-from-behind win this past weekend in Rochester New York to defeat Irondiquoit in the Section V Class AA Championships with a 54-51 win.

What an amazing story!
