    Ex-UCO coach James joins Edmond North staff

    One day after being welcomed into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame -- and one year after severing ties with University of Central Oklahoma -- Edmond North High School announced that former UCO head wrestling coach David James will be joining the coaching staff at the Oklahoma City area school, The Oklahoman reported Tuesday.

    James wrestled at Central Oklahoma and became the school's first four-time All-American. He then coached his alma mater for 34 years, where he led the Bronchos to 12 national championships, 48 individual national champs and 182 All-Americans until he was let go from the Oklahoma City school in April 2016.

    After a year away from coaching, James sought to get back to the sport. His friendship with Larry Tettleton, Edmond North's junior high coach, led James to his new position at the high school.

    "Who better of a person can you find than David James," Edmond North coach Andy Schneider said.

    It's been an incredible week for James. On Monday, the former Bronchos wrestler/coach was installed into the Hall of Fame honoring athletes who have a connection to the state of Oklahoma. Among the other Class of 2017 honorees: 1960 Olympic gold medalist wrestler Doug Blubaugh.
