            Finally, COVID issues and injuries were behind Grant Conway.
            And putting together a full, uninterrupted season as a sophomore, the former St. James High School All-American and state champion hurdler/sprinter made the most of his opportunities with the Iowa Hawkeyes’ track and field squad.

            It’s not lost on the players or coaches.
            There is simply an air of excitement about the potential of the upcoming season for the St. James High Tigers.

            The St. James High School fall sports teams are set to roll out the balls and practice gear.

            For academic excellence and quality of the baseball head coach, Andrew Branson is quite pleased with his decision to attend and play at Missouri S&T.

            Emily Mueller will begin her coaching career leading the St. James Lady Tiger soccer program. This summer she was named as the new St. James High girls’ soccer head coach, replacing Abbi Moreland, who resigned to take a position in the Farmington School District.

            Nick Olivas returned home to St. James a year ago. And he got his dream job with the Tigers a few days ago.
