Carey High School senior James McGrath Jr. feels blessed despite enduring tragedy.

The 17-year-old football and lacrosse star lost both of his parents by age 11.

Yet McGrath is filled with a sense of gratitude for the love and support of his three older siblings, as well as the stability and strength provided by his Carey teammates and coaches.
