Re: James Carlton
He played 17 games in 81-82, and I remember well the fall he took in a ballgame.
Then he played in 10 in 82-83; not very well (3.3 a game); at that point he was gone. Perhaps he simply didn't recover from the injury the year before? Do not believe he stayed at Holy Cross as a student, maybe there's someone from that era who remembers that one way or the other.
The kid could really jump; a raw talent that they were hoping would be a big contributor.

It is a very sad story-- I was close to him for years and spoke with him when his other son was at College of Charleston. His injury lasted a while and he played later at Appalachian State I thought our school was unusually harsh with him during his recovery and will stop there but he was crushed by the actions and decisions of the moment. He had a very strong faith, however, and it helped him realize it all happens for a reason- yet he still speaks fondly of the school and his memories of his time on campus. He was a very special and humble young man with an unbelievable mother who raised him |
