Coach Williams wasn’t your average teacher or person. He cared for everyone no matter their background or present situation, you were greeted with a smile, which let you know he truly cared and made you feel valued! @RiverdaleHighTN and C Hall will never be the same 😢💔 https://t.co/oJ4XO22Tdq

❤️🏹💛It’s funny how words written in a yearbook 7 years ago can hold so much weight today. Coach Williams truly embodied the Warrior Spirit, and he will be so missed in the RHS family. 💛🏹❤️ pic.twitter.com/pzPPZb4Tfm
