Ask Jason McElwain what he did for his last high school February break.
Jason, or J-Mac as his basketball teammates call him, will tell you how his family hired an attorney to manage an offer from Hollywood. And how he's spoken to every major media network in America about last Wednesday night.
That was the night Jason moved from the end of the Greece Athena boy's basketball team bench, into legend.
All of America's learned this week about Jason's three years of service as Athena's basketball manager and how, in the senior's final regular season home game, Athena coach Jim Johnson told Jason to suit up. Athena needed to win the game for a division title. It roared out to a 40 point lead over Spencerport. With four minutes remaining, Johnson looked down the bench and told Jason to check in. Wth classmates, teammates and family screaming support, Jason hit a school-record six three-point shots. J-Mac scored 20, including a field goal as the horn sounded. The crowd stormed the court and lifted Jason to their shoulders.
