Kirkwood (Mo.) High senior basketball player David "Chubbs" Stillman had a game he will remember forever on Monday night.
And it was all by design.
Stillman, who is a special needs student at Kirkwood and has been the team's manager since his freshman year, suited up for his high school - and scored six points.
"This night was planned to give back to Chubbs for all he has given us the past four years," Kirkwood coach Bill Gunn said. "He made the night special."
Stillman, who started, entered to his name being blasted over the loudspeaker and chanted from the stands.
"It was so much fun," Stillman said. "Having my brothers, sister and family there also made it special."
The decision to start Stillman was an easy one for Gunn.
"We wanted him to experience putting on the jersey, starting and having the opportunity to play for Kirkwood," he said.
And play Stillman did.
