Whiz Kid: James Bobb

New feature will honor the top students in the Bellmore community.

Our second Whiz Kid is Calhoun senior James Bobb!

  • Name: James Bobb
  • Age: 17
  • School: Calhoun High School
  • Accomplishment: Among the top five in scoring in the High School Hockey League of Nassau County.
  • Key to Awesomeness: James has had no trouble finding the net all season long for the Bellmore-Merrick Bulldogs and leads the team in points. The captain also helped lead his team to an 18-2 regular season. According to head coach Chris Patten, "He is the definition of what a student athlete should be."

Know a great kid who made Eagle Scout or did your local soccer team take the
championship? They may be our next Patch Whiz Kid honoree.

Each week, Bellmore Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens, and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments. We want to hear about these amazing children and teens and select one each week as the Patch Whiz Kid.
