Wayland High School graduate Lacey James leads the Northern Illinois basketball team this season in rebounding at 7.8 caroms per game and blocked shots.
James, who earned Division 2 All-State honors as a Wildcat playing coach Mike Hudson, also is second among Huskies in scoring with about nine points game. At Wayland, he was the team’s leading scorer and rebounder, completing three years on the varsity.
After he graduated from Wayland, he enrolled at a Division 1 school in New Jersey, but later transferred to Northern Illinois, which is a member of the Mid-American Conference. He and his teammates were in Kalamazoo last weekend to play against Western Michigan University.
Mr. James
Congratulations on your outstanding accomplishments on the basketball court!
