His passing had a profound impact on the Terra Linda community, uniting them in collective grief and inspiring action. In his honor, an Academic Scholarship at Terra Linda High School was created. To support this scholarship, the “LLJ 3on3 Basketball Tournament” was developed. Jameson was a passionate basketball player who deeply loved the sport. Beginning in 3rd grade with NBBA skills clinics up until his junior year on the varsity team at TL, he never quit.    The 2nd annual LLJ tournament is approaching on Saturday June 21st - so get your teams together. This is open to ages high school and up, and we would love to see more female teams and grandparents!    New this year is the LLJ Middle School Shooting Challenge for all 2025 incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. We are also having a silent raffle that includes some amazing donated gifts from local merchants - there is something for everyone! It's a day full of fun, friendship, and a little bit of competition.
