R.I.P. #81 It takes a lot of courage to join the military not only after 9/11 or after Afghanistan, but in the middle of TWO conflicts and when fighting in fallujah was at its worst. It speaks well of his character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucfan64 309 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 James transferred up to Twin Valley and he played varsity hoops for me, he later went back to Grundy. Great kid and super athlete. Ironically, just a few days ago, before his death, we were talking about the biggest moments in school history and a couple of plays that James made that stood out to us came to mind. He was very instrumental in helping us turn the corner in basketball and helping us build a tradition at Twin Valley. He even helped us as an assistant after he graduated, we really thought a lot of that kid, he sure is gonna be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
