Cerebral palsy can’t keep him out of the game!

Faith Academy senior, Austin Miller, got his wish last night when he was chosen to be a starter for the Ram’s basketball team. The once “manager” for the team put on the #33 jersey and had his chance to shine. At the tip off, Austin was thrown the ball and scored the first points of the game! Talk about a senior night dream come true.

“Can’t really compare it to anything else because it was so amazing,” said Miller.

Austin is a true inspiration to overcoming what some would say to be impossible. We are proud of you Austin! Keep up the good work!
