AMAZING story - restoring faith in humanity in Texas

This is a news broadcast from El Paso Texas about a developmentally disabled kiddo who lives for basketball - and how his team supported him in their last game. (With a surprise ending!)

Shades of Rudy - this coach is awesome and Jonathan Montanez - you have banked some SERIOUS karma points, young man. Well done!

If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes, check to see if you have a soul.

I could have worded that title better though - like "Texans restoring faith in humanity".
