James is a 4th grader at Lessenger Elementary. Currently a member of the U11C Hornets, James has been playing ROYSA soccer for six years. Since joining the Hornets family in Fall ’08, James has become known for his heart and hustle out on the pitch. One of the highlights of his young career came last season when he tallied three goals in one game. Performances such as this led to James being named the team’s Most Improved Player in Spring ’11. In addition to his passion for soccer, James enjoys eating Chinese food and playing video games. Congratulations, James! Keep up the good work!

Way to go Hannah!
