SHOULDN'T COACH HENRY WINKFIELD JOIN THE McD ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME?
IS THERE ANYONE THAT KNOWS HOW TO NOMINATE HIM?
BESIDES BEING A SMALL COLLEGE ALL-AMERICAN, LETTERING IN THREE SPORTS FOR FOUR YEARS IN COLLEGE, HE RECEIVED OFFERS FROM PROFESSIONAL TEAMS IN FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL.
INSTEAD HE CAME HOME TO KIMBALL WHERE HE LED THE TERRIERS (TAROS) TO COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS YEAR AFTER YEAR. ULTIMATELY, HE WAS THE ON-THE-FLOOR GENERAL FOR THE NORTHFORK TEAMS THAT WON 7 STRAIGHT STATE BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS.
MR. WINK WAS A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND WAS A HUGE INFLUENCE ON KIMBALL KIDS. EVEN THOSE OF US THAT WEREN'T HIS STUDENTS.
IF ANYONE DESERVES CONSIDERATION IT IS HENRY WINKFIELD.
