Hills Bro Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) Jason McElwain AKA J-MAC meets The President Three weeks ago this young man had a spectacular day on the Basketball court here in Rochester. He has been on all sportchannels since and is soon to become a movie hero in the likes of RUDY. Yesturday as President Bush arrived here in Rochester for a town hall meeting , this young man and his family were the first to greet the Pres. as Bush came off Air Force One. It was a Kodak moment and a teary eyed one at that. An autistic kid Jason McElwain who was the team manager and never dressed to play in a game before this night hits 20 points (one 2 pointer and 6 three pointers in a row in less than 4 minutes) in a high school basketball game three weeks ago and meets with the Pres. yesturday. Next a movie..what a thrill for this kid and what a coach to give this kid a chance to play on senior night.. What's coincidental about the whole thing ...Bush came to Rochester last year and had a town hall meeting ..where was it held? at this young man's high school..Greece Athena. Way to go J -MAC !!! enjoy the videos http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=2352763 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11824927/ Edited March 15, 2006 by Hills Bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
