I live in the Valdosta, GA area. The past three weeks this community has been stunned by a 17 yr old from Valdosta HS who went missing during a duck hunting trip. Many agencies were involved in searching for him including the Search and Rescue squadron from Moody AFB. After two weeks of searching the 400 acre "pond", they found James Eunice's body. He was a strong Christian example for his classmates, and teammates on both the football and baseball teams. He lived with such a sense of urgency and left a huge impact here. Most people live an entire life time and don't make the impact that James made in 17 years.
As some of you know, UGA had been recruiting Jay Rome and Malcom Mitchell from VHS. While down here on a recruiting trip James had talked with CMR about walking on to the football team.
At James' funeral yesterday Rome and Mitchell came up to speak with a box and a letter from CMR. At the end of the letter he wrote "Oh yeah James made the team!" At that point Rome and Mitchell pulled a UGA jersey with James' number 23 on it. He wrote:
"James Eunice became apart of the UGA football team today! Now what a dream team. RIP to such a wonderful young man James Eunice!"

I am a LSU fan forever, but CMR won my respect for sure yesterday!! Class act!! Rest In Peace James!

say what you want about him, but you can't say he is not a good person.

I knew about James through my girlfriend. Her favorite Chemistry professor at the college we go to was a first cousin of James and was constantly asking for our prayers. Really tragic story, he sounded like one hell of a kid. Glad to hear he had such an impact. Richt simply reacted like all us UGA fans knew he would, hence he has been given the reprieve that he has these past couple of years.

Rest In Peace James! Go Dawgs!

Classy Post, OP
