Rudy, Redux

Jason McElwain, a high school senior, was his high school basketball team's equipment manager. Perhaps as a token of appreciation, the team added him to the active roster for the team's final home game of the season -- it being McElwain's final one as a student. After the team took a comfortable lead, McElwain, took the court.

He ended up setting a school record by making six three pointers, on his way to a 20 point night.

More incredibly, McElaiwn is autistic.

See a video clip of McElwain's interview with CBS' The Early Show here. See a segment on CNN about the story here (both via ClipBlast).
