Ure Award for Sportsmanship The first annual Captain James S. Ure Award was presented at the conclusion of the 1961 National Wheelchair Basketball Tournament. The trophy, originated by Major General Lloyd B. Hopwood, is awarded to the player judged to display outstanding team spirit and sportsmanship during the National Wheelchair Basketball Tournament. Captain Ure, a highly decorated fighter pilot during the Korean conflict, was shot down over the 38th Parallel on his 81st mission, suffering major injuries. As a result he wore an artificial leg and his right elbow was immobilized. He spent 13 months undergoing rehabilitation, determined to remain in the service. With perseverance and a long, difficult fight, Captain Ure won his battle and returned to active duty in the U.S. Air Force. Also a proud member of the NWBA Division I & II National Championships. 1998-99 - NWBA Div. I Final Four, Second place 1999-2000 - NWBA Div. I Final Four, Third place 2000-01 - NWBA Div.
