Nathan Mitcham, an Owasso High School student with special needs, got the chance of a lifetime last night. He has been the basketball team’s manager for three years, and with a massive social media push (#DressNathanOut) he got to suit up and play the last 4 minutes of a game against Sand Springs (in which he hit two 3-pointers and a field goal).
Another classy act: the shoes Nathan played in were a gift from the Sand Springs coaches and players (their opponents).

Freakin sweet!
