OSG High: Sixers Sign Down's Syndrome HS Student To Contract

((HT: CSN Philly))

The HQ showed the efforts of Kevin Grow a few days ago...

He is the Pennsylvania high schooler with Down's Syndrome who hit four three-pointers on Senior Night for Bensalem (PA) High School. Because of his efforts on and off the court, the Sixers are signing him to a two-day contract where he will take part in a team's practice, eat dinner with the team, and get some SIxers gear out of the deal.

When the Sixers host the Cavaliers on Tuesday, Grow gets a jersey, his own locker in the locker room, and will stand with his new teammates for the National Anthem.

Here's the signing at Bensalem High...


Grow and his teammates will be honored during the Cavs game during a timeout as well...

H.S Hoopster With Down Syndrome Drops Four 3-Pointers in Game

((ht: cbssports.com))

Talk about having a night...

Kevin Grow, the team manager for Bensalem High School in Pennsylvania got to suit up for Bensalem's game Saturday night on Senior Night and to quote Dan Patrick, Grow was "En fuego".

Grow, a senior,  has Down's Syndrome and has been the squad's manager for all four years. He got into the game late, with about 2 minutes to go and Bensalem well ahead. Grow proceeded to get a layup shortly after entering the game.

That's when he channeled his inner Larry Bird. A 3 from the top of the key. Next time down, another three a little left of the 1st one. He finished with his fourth 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Grow ended up with 14 points and his team won the game 64-40
