Witts Springs, Arkansas, population one hundred, has a hard time producing athletes from a student body of forty-one in grades seven to twelve. But its athletes take team play to a new level.<\/p>\n
In a basketball game with Leslie School, Witts Springs trailed by more than thirty points with just two minutes to go. The fans began to chant, \u201cPut in Scotty.\u201d \u201cScot-TEE! Scot-TEE!\u201d Coach Nash waved Scotty Harmon in.<\/p>\n
Harmon, who has cerebral palsy, took a pass on the perimeter and flung the ball toward the hoop. He missed. His teammates scrambled for the rebound and gave Scotty a second chance. He missed again, which started another fight for the ball.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe kids know when Scotty\u2019s in there, their game is over,\u201d Coach Nash said. \u201cThey\u2019re doing it for him. The atmosphere changes. If they\u2019re worn out, they\u2019ll break their necks to get that rebound. Our kids will go above everybody to get the ball to Scotty.\u201d<\/p>\n
On his fourth try, Harmon sunk a three-pointer. Fans on both sides of the gym cheered wildly. The scoreboard showed Leslie, 89; Witts Springs, 58, but everybody left a winner.<\/p>\n
