Cam was playing basketball with friends and teammates and a medical emergency ended his life so unexpectedly. Cam was full of light and joy and was such a positive presence in our classrooms, on the court, and in our school community. I will miss his weekly visits when he would sneak up to the main office to get his favorite candy bar, Twix, from Mrs. Fields as she gave him a pre-game pep talk and then brought him back to me for some additional encouragement to play his best and DUNK more! We will miss seeing him in the hallways, with his teammates, talking basketball and re-hashing who did what on the floor. He was and is an absolutely amazing young man who has a special place in so many hearts. He will be truly missed but will always be remembered - especially in the echoes of basketball games in our gymnasium and in the laughter of our hallways. We want to wrap our arms around his mother, Jessica Ward, his teammates, Coach Jackson, and our assistant basketball coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --></blockquote> <!-- /wp:quote --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/long-live-c5?attribution_id=sl%3A2362584d-2078-42d5-85fa-a09eaea8107d&amp;utm_campaign=m_pd%20share-sheet&amp;utm_content=SPP_noyellow&amp;utm_medium=copy_link_modal&amp;utm_source=customer&amp;fbclid=IwAR2UEJKo1iZ642EH6VwRtIF6YX_LGZ65SX6XLXH9CPVlEZ29_QFzx1ftF1E_aem_AefEdoh7NFFuxjB-lmcRSQb-zYHGilIrahktHW7NNCRtIzZAeGaGWgxHFFLpcSXLt5t2bOX2WHJAYp_B1FL9BfWZ">gofundme</a> set up by his older brother, [player_tooltip player_id='2194601' first='Messiah' last='Ward']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Committed PG's</span></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1145719' first='Tyler' last='Tanner'] | Brentwood Academy | Vanderbilt<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1121414' first='Jahvin' last='Carter'] | Alcoa | Penn State<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2336377' first='Kevin' last='De Kovachich'] | Hamilton Heights Christian | North Alabama<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1195250' first='Jett' last='Montgomery'] | Independence | Southern Miss<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1385937' first='Jordan' last='Allen'] | Hillcrest | Holmes Community College<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1336420' first='Fred' last='Bailey'] | Pope Prep | Trevecca Nazarene<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1385935' first='Xavier' last='Herron'] | Hillcrest | Philander Smith<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1140784' first='Kyle' last='Cloninger'] | Morristown East | Maryville<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1214942' first='Nyziah' last='Whaley'] | Baylor School | Lee University<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1570572' first='Jason' last='Britton'] | North Greene | Tusculum<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1336419' first='Jordan' last='Lee'] | Beech | UT Martin football<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2372999' first='Tyrone' last='Robertson'] | Whites Creek | Fisk U.<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1140221' first='Zane' last='Lawhon'] | Harriman | Johnson University<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Ten Best Uncommitted</span><br>1) [player_tooltip player_id='1213158' first='Emerson' last='Tenner Jr.']<br>2) [player_tooltip player_id='1055487' first='Zundra' last='Jackson']<br>3) [player_tooltip player_id='1659744' first='Grady' last='Robertson']<br>4) [player_tooltip player_id='1718013' first='Kenny' last='Ellis']<br>5) [player_tooltip player_id='2318087' first='Malaki' last='Brooks']<br>6) [player_tooltip player_id='1289352' first='Drake' last='Ingram']<br>7) [player_tooltip player_id='1336400' first='Bryson' last='Andrews']<br>8) [player_tooltip player_id='1140762' first='Maddux' last='Bodenhamer']<br>9) [player_tooltip player_id='1352806' first='AJ' last='Morman']<br>10) [player_tooltip player_id='1564337' first='Parker' last='Robison']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
