Great story our of Washington. Almost as cool as they basketball player that jacked up all those three pointers a couple of years ago.

but obviously the other team was told to let him score.

That kid that jacked up all those three pointers - they may have not guarded him as tight, but dude still went 8-for-9 in about a three minute spread.

He got to play in one game for 3 plays. The Hillcrest players were pointing and laughing at him during warmups. Obviously, Coach Blount went apeshit before the game. The team had never gotten fired up before a Hillcrest game before. We scored 40 something in the first half and we weren't very good. After we had 60, Blount put his son in at receiver for three plays. It was awesome.

Very astute observation.

Here is a good follow up on the ESPY winner.. J-Mac is now working at a Wegmans in NY, and volunteers as a basketball coach.
