A monster of a man!

Willie Woodard from Jackson is listed on previous posts here also and he was closer to 6' 6" than the 6'3" listed on POY list (1991)on this thread. His Mom & Dad are from Middleport & Pomeroy originally and family on my Dad's side with his Mom.allamericanironman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 11:29 amHe was like a big 7 footer today.

The SEOAL release from '91 lists him at 6'3 and the All-SE District teams lists him at 6'4 FWIW. That's where I got the number from.
To start the 90-91 season 6’4 was maybe his height but he was one of Jackson’s rare 6’6 playersloganlocos wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 12:32 pmThe SEOAL release from '91 lists him at 6'3 and the All-SE District teams lists him at 6'4 FWIW. That's where I got the number from.
