Ramone Williams given distinction of honorary captain by wrestling

The Eastern Michigan University wrestling team honored senior student Ramone Williams with the distinction of team captain on Sunday when it went up against Kent State University in a Mid-American Conference meeting.

Williams, who holds a GPA of 3.4 at Eastern Michigan, has lived out of his 2007 Dodge Caravan while working two-part time jobs and taking out loans to pay his tuition.

Sunday's meeting between the Eagles and the Golden Flashes was an enjoyable experience for Williams, who felt at home due to his past experience with wrestling during his upbringing.
