Hayes - More Than Just A Football Coach
By C. “Sport” Page
On the eve of ending another season,
head coach Bill Hayes finishes his sixth
year as coach of the Rams football
squad. Hayes will also be completing
his fifth consecutive winning season as
Ram coach.
In 1977, WSSU went 10-0 and cap
tured the first CIAA Title and Cham
pionship under Hayes^ leadership.
Hayes, a 16 year veteran at the art of
coaching, has spread his roots into
coaching other sports.
“Through my years of coaching, I
have also coached basketball, track,
and tennis,” said Hayes.

Central, played football for the Eagles.

more who saw limited action after an
early season injury, should give the
Rams more rebounding power. Tyrone
Grandberry and Danny Womack, 6’3”
Guard/Forwards, are outstanding
athletes who could play important
roles in the coming season.
‘‘The difference in last years team
and the present team is that the
players seem to enjoy playing as a
team,” stated Sam Cary, sports in
formation director. “The Rams have
been hampered by a lack of size the
past few years, but the problem has
been resolved”, stated Cary. The
Rams recruited four players 6’6” or
more to resolve the big man shortage.
The remaining recruits are quality
athletes who promise to give the fans
action-packed basketball.
The Rams experienced one of the
most productive recruiting years that
they have had in quite some time. Ten
of the fifteen recruits were All-City in
their respective home towns. The
future of the Rams’ success will
depend on the rate in which they
develop as the season progresses.
The Rams open the season on
December 1, at A&T State University
in the Corbett Gymnasium on the
Aggie campus. The Ram-Aggie clash
should be an early test for the Rams.
“Everyone is optimistic”, said Head
Coach “Bighouse” Gaines.

“I enjoy competition. I like to play
and compete in sports; working and
helping a player develop are qualities in
which 1 thrive on in coaching,” said
Hayes.
His main objective in coaching is,
“To win, never to lose and to keep my
men up and ready to play at all times.
Team Work.” Hayes, in looking for a
top recruit, feels that these are the
qualities that make him a good athlete.
“Speed, guts, and the attitude and
determination as a player to want to
work hard at what he is doing.”
Behind a good football team is a
hard working staff, that along with the
head coach, produces a good football
team.
The staff which has worked with
Hayes to give him his fifth consecutive
winning season out of his six years as a
Ram coach are offensive coordinator
Alfred Harvey; defensive coordinator
Charles Griffen, offensive running
back coach William Edward Peay;
wide receiver coach Linwood Gerald;
defensive line coach Steve Komon-
dorea, and defensive secondary coach
Pete Richardson.
Hayes and his staff have received the
reputation and respect throughout the
conference as the “hardest working”
coaches in the CIAA.
