Beckley’s Danny Williams Could Be Wingler 1952 Redux

A look at Beckley High’s lineup for the Class A title run notes Sam Caudill’s injury absence and praises Danny Williams as a potential Wingler-like spark. Coach Van Meter has shuffled players Joe Long, Clark Kesler, Bill Jackson, and John Lemon, but Williams fits the needed scoring, rebounding, and quickness to step in.
