Kings Park Middle School: Heartwarming Moment At Basketball Game

I moved my family to Kings Park 12 years ago, and this is one of the reasons why.

I must share this heartwarming story. Watching daughter Jamie cheer for her Middle School basketball game today, with about a minute left. Suddenly, the place erupts in cheers. I didn't know what it was about, but on to the court comes Nick from Kings Park who is Autistic. Both teams greeted him and then the play began. Get the ball near the basket, get it to Nick, Nick tosses it up and scores at the buzzer. I was holding my phone, but was so caught up in the moment that I didn't even think of video. It would have surely gone viral. Great way to start Christmas weekend!
