Hopewell High School has announced James Pelham as its new Head Basketball Coach.
A 1993 Hopewell grad, Pelham was the school’s all-time leading scorer until his nephew – Elvin Edmonds IV – broke that record in 2021. He has been an assistant for the Blue Devils since 2020.
Pelham reaplaces Elvin Edmonds III, who guided the Blue Devils to a State Championship during the COVID-shortened campaign in 2021 and also a trip to the Class 3 State Finals this past March, where they were beaten by Spotswood 57-50.
