James W. has been a resident at Kenwood for almost a year now and we recently got to experience the great coaching legend he was. Last month his former player, now Coach, Bobby Moranda stopped by Kenwood with a charter bus full of players! They were on their way from Western Carolina University to Cincinnati for a ball game. Each player, individually, shook Mr. W’s hand and thanked him for playing the part in their journey of his coaching legacy, leaving him with memorabilia from their school. James W. coached 21 years at the local college, Eastern Kentucky University and was honored in their Hall of Fame. He ensured that he was not only a coach, but a father-figure to each player of his. Coach W. said, “I may have been tough on them, but they all knew I loved them!” Bobby played from 89-90 at EKU where Coach W. left a lifelong impression with him that shows true with this show of respect and admiration!
