I love to hear about local athletes who have moved on and are showcasing their talent in other schools or places.  They are a great example of how much potential we have in our local communities.

 Josh Adams is an example of this.  The Cary native got offers from schools including Clemson, NC State, and Maryland before choosing to attend Wake Forest University.  Before moving to Winston Salem, he had a successful career at Cary High.  He was rated by Rivals.com as the 10th best running back in the nation for the class of 2006.  Adams had 2,884 rushing yards as a senior and college scouts took notice. 

 He was red shirted last year, but in the three games he has played in this season as a Demon Deacon he leads the team in rushing, with a total of 186 yards this season.  He has scored two touchdowns, and continues to improve each game.

 Some of the players in our backyards right now will be in the same place one day.  The video below, from rivals.com, has a few clips of Adams from his senior year at Cary High in Fall of 2005.

 What other local athletes did you know from your community that have gone on and made you proud?
