He goes all-out

Josh Swoverland has cuts, blisters and bruises on his hands and arms from the aggressive way he pushes himself down the court.
His shots are forced; tired, one-hand "junk" shots his mother, Judie, said he has to work on.
Just back from a five-day basketball camp in Wisconsin, he finds time on a rainy afternoon, his day to rest, to get out with a friend and shoot some hoops on the backyard court his parents built a year ago.
Swoverland is no ordinary athlete. He is gearing up for an international competition for wheelchair athletes.
The 16-year-old Avon High School student is part of the U.S. team in the Australian Junior Basketball Championships in Sydney, Australia. It's the latest challenge for a young athlete who's already an award winner and record breaker.
