The "Swish" Heard Round South Bend!



Nick Becker is a fifth grade basketball player here in South Bend -- who has aspirations to play football someday for the Fighting Irish...

Nick has Down syndrome.

Saturday, December 5th -- in a gym in South Bend, IN -- Nick Becker scored his first two points in a basketball game (he made his second shot too!).  He, his family and his friends scored more in the game of life...

There's a line in the Notre Dame Victory March "...what though the odds be great or small..."

I'm betting on Nick!

Special thanks to Rick Becker -- Nick's Dad -- who sent me a note this morning alerting me to the video and story he had written about Nick's first bucket!
