GRAND LEDGE, Mich. — Two Michigan high school basketball teams set rivalry aside during their last regular season game so a student team manager with cerebral palsy could fulfil his dream of playing after spending two seasons on the sidelines. Grand Ledge coach Scott Lewis challenged his players to get ahead of Holt on Friday so Grand Ledge senior Michael Bryant could comfortably have the chance to play, The Lansing State Journal reported. Everyone in the gym, even the rival team, cheered as Bryant landed two 3-pointers late in the game, Lewis said. It was the whole community, rather it be Holt, rather it be Grand Ledge — everyone in the gym was cheering for the kid,” he said. “I dreamed about going on the court and shooting 3-pointers,” Michael Bryant said.
