Sports Hall of Fame
Ash-Lee Michael James '04 is one of the winningest all-around athletes in Bishop Lynch High School history, capturing state championships in three different sports for a total of five victories. As a sophomore, Ash-Lee scored the game-tying goal with less than a minute left in the TAPPS soccer state semi-final game in 2002. The team went on to bring home the state title, and Ash-Lee received the recognition of Second Team All-State. He played on the 2002 and 2003 TAPPS football state championship teams and was named Second Team All-State Wide Receiver and First Team All-State Defense in 2003. Ash-Lee was also the TAPPS 1-5A Male Athlete of the Year. In the 2003-2004 men's soccer season, Ash-Lee was a key factor in another state championship victory, this time with a game-winning assist that earned him the designation of First Team All-State Midfield for the season. Later in his senior year, Ash-Lee took home TAPPS state championship gold medal in long jump and the 4x100 relay in the leadoff position along with bronze medals in high jump and 300m hurdles. This marked Bishop Lynch's first men's track and field championship.
