We are coming off of my favorite sports weekend of the entire year: March Madness! Honestly, who out there had VCU and Richmond in the Sweet Sixteen? But with all the talk of Bracket Busters and Cinderella teams, nothing that happened this weekend compares to my favorite springtime basketball story which occurred on a far smaller stage five years ago. It started at a high school in upstate New York, where a very unlikely hero emerged in the sectionals championship — and then went on to do something even GREATER after the game was over.
