The popular student takes notes in his history class along with fellow students. When not in school, the likeable and articulate athlete enjoys his free time horseback riding and playing tennis. Coming from an athletic family his interests naturally run in sports. His father and uncle were both prominent professional boxers some years back. After college, Williams would like to try his hand at professional football. On that score he commented, I believe that if a person has confidence in his ability to do something, then he should at least give it a whirl. I think I can make it in pro football. I could be wrong, but I would cheat myself if I didn't set my goals high. Thus far in his 19 years of life, Williams hasn't failed, and there is no reason to believe that he will start now.

While at Valley, lanky sophomore james Williams has had the pleasure of playing in only three games in which the Monarchs were able to win. Despite that depressing fact, he said, If I had to do it all over again, I would still come to Valley. It's true that We haven't won many games. However, more important is the fact that I have met many fine people at Valley, both on and OH the field. It has been my pleasure to have been associated with them. Equally proficient in the classroom, Williams discusses his history maior with Richard Hendricks, associate professor of history. Williams is upset by a fallen Vaquero but maintains his balance and adds an additional four yards to his run. Unaware of a would-be tackler, the well-known No. 32 cuts to the outside as an unidentified Monarch peels back to lay a block.
