Camden captured the sectional championship thanks to a top defense where Richard 'Wink' James played a major role and found himself in a leadership role. Now the junior has committed to West Virginia.
“Wink” is the nickname for Camden High defensive lineman Richard James Jr., and it was given to him by his father at birth.
“He’s five years older than me, started playing football when I started it,” Wink said. “And he was always so happy and saying ‘I can do this, this and this because I play football,’ and I was like, ‘I’m going to play football just to be better than you.’ And I know that sounds crazy, but it ended up working out in both of our favors.”Competitiveness is only one part of James’ arsenal though, as his football IQ is something that many around him have taken notice of.
“We were inexperienced on the offensive line,” Hinson said. “I think we had one starter back and then we had some guys who never played football before on the offensive line. We were struggling. “That made it easier to bond with the teammates,” James said. “Specifically because they’re saying, ‘if he can make those sacrifices, then we can make those sacrifices’ and then throughout the year we have guys playing positions they don’t really want to play but they have to for the greater good of the team and nobody’s complaining about that.”
