Quote:
Josh Titus, a Maine man with autism who made national headlines after playing in a high school basketball game, died Wednesday after a brief battle with cancer. He was 25.

Titus was the manager of his high school basketball team in Auburn. Playing in the final home game of the season, he scored nine points and subsequently became one of the top 10 high school sports stories on ESPN in 2009.
