    Tyrone James

    Tyrone is on a team called the Blue Devils at the University of Orlando and he hasn’t played much

    in the games but when the clock was ticking he ran for the ball and shot as fast as he could and

    scored for his team. Tyrone was one of the top 5 basketball players on his team in high school and

    continued onto college with a scholarship and a dream. After the game we met up with Tyrone

    James and he said “I feel amazing, I can’t believe I got the ball in the hoop under so much

    pressure and with such little time left, I’m really excited and I’m going to celebrate with the team

    right after this”. It was a great game and we hope to see more from him and his teammates.
