Omarion James formed a close bond with his school resource officers at Foreman High School, and they helped his college dreams come true.
CHICAGO -- Omarion James was a standout basketball star at Foreman High School, and also started on the football team. The multi-sport athlete also managed to keep up with school work and got good grades. But it was his leadership that got the attention of school resource officers John Bauer and Katherina Nowakowski, who took him under their wing."He's such a great kid. Never got in trouble at school," said Nowakowski.
"It was a miracle to me and Kathy that he was able to keep his grades up, play sports, despite all these tragedies," Bauer said. Bauer said when he told Omarion's story to the recruiting office at Jacksonville State they immediately offered him a spot and reduced tuition. Omarion will be the first in his family to go to college.
