b'I am so excited that I am having a young high school student that has autism on my program. Last Friday night at the state tournaments at the last few minutes of the ballgame, Christian Patterson was put in. At first, some did not know that he had any special issues. When he "walked" the ball, the ref gave the ball to the other side. But as time went on, Christian was given the ball a couple of times and he missed the basket. The crowd was obviously sad for him as there was an "awwhh" going through the stands. Then the opposing team threw him the ball and he made a three-point score! The crowd cheered and so di both teams. They were so supportive of him! Exciting to have him on as his story went viral last weekend.'
