The first selection for this years Class of 2010 is James Carter from WHS Class of '42 for football. He joins fellow team mates Bob Campbell, Ves Jackson & Brassy Beresford. Nick named "Boo" he was the eighth of 15 siblings in his family. Talking to other fellow team mates that played with Mr. Carter, it was generally agreed that you didn't want to be hit by him when he was playing guard while on the gridiron. Bob Campbell said "he could ring your bell"! He earned four Varsity letters during his high school career.
After high school Carter played semi-pro for the old Steubenville Pros football team and also pitched baseball for the Golden Star Dairy team while working for Crucible Steel. Mr. Carter has passed on and is no longer with us. He will be represented by his brother Frank.
