There was more to Catalina's Ted James than what you saw on the field

Sad to learn of the death of former Catalina High School football coach Ted James, who died of cancer last week. He was 73. James arrived at Catalina in 1969 after a standout quarterbacking career at NAU. He spent two terms as Catalina’s head coach, in the ’70s and again early in the ’90s. He was a people person, teacher and coach of the first rank, a kind man and, I’m fortunate enough to know, a wonderful golf partner.
