Jean, I remember you & Bill fondly from worshipping together at Grace UMC. I know he put Hawthorne basketball team on the map but more importantly he served as a good Christian influence & role model for 100’s of young people. Prayers for you as I’m sure you’ve lost your best friend.
Sending hugs and Prayers to the family...... Coach Woods was my hero , Teacher and my Softball coach........ I looked up to Coach woods for everything....... He will always sit high .... RIP COACH WOODS..........
Jean and Tonya...….so sorry to hear about Bill......we always had very competitive games.....I truly enjoyed competing against a Bill Woods coach team, although we lost to him and his team more than I wanted. A job well done Coach. Rest in Peace....Mike Kirkman Eastside HS.....
At Hialeah High School, in Hialeah, Florida, Coach Woods was my basketball coach from 1977 to 1980. He was also a mentor and friend to me. He will be sorely missed by all of us T-breds that he coached. Rest In Peace, Coach. 🐴🏀
