    Tragedy, family fuel Salesian’s James Akinjo

    When he was 4, James Akinjo’s life took a turn after a tragedy. His mother, Monique Divers, died after a long illness and his grandmother, Roberta Stevenson, took custody.

    His mom had served as an inspiration, and now it was his grandmother who would see that her grandson would have the tools needed to succeed: a tremendous work ethic and ultimate confidence.

    Akinjo, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound point guard at Salesian-Richmond, has climbed the national recruiting ranks and is now considered one of the top 100 seniors in the country. In November, he signed a letter of intent to the University of Connecticut.
