Rolle Call
S.L. PRICE
December 10, 2007
Members of the Rolle clan, descended
from freed slaves in the Bahamas, have left their mark on football, baseball,
basketball, track and other college and pro sports in the U.S.
"I'm not
going to lie. I've been blessed. My family's provided for me. But I feel that
with the talents God has given me and the things I've been able to accomplish,
I could do more. I feel I can influence society. In Princeton you've got a lot
of kids who are spoiled because they have everything given to them, and then
you go to the Bahamas where people are just happy to be living, to have clothes
on their back. That's why I'll continue to work hard in the classroom and on
the field, so I can set myself up for the future and go back and help those
people who I feel need it—and who helped me."
You hear that,
Pompey? The journey has come nearly full circle. One of the Rolle boys is
looking to come home.
