Chaz Williams (Skyhawk '04) will be continuing his collegiate basketball career at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) in the 2011-2012 season. Chaz has to sit out one season due to his transfer from Hofstra University.
During his freshman season for the Hofstra Pride, Chaz, a 5'9" 175 lb point guard was a blur for opponents and had the following stats:
- led team in assists with 138
- 2nd on team in scoring with 9.8 avg.
- 2nd on team in steals with 54
- avg over 31 minutes per game
Chaz came to Hofstra after a stellar career at Bishop Ford HS. Chaz was the face of the program for 3 years. Chaz led the Falcons to back-to-back appearances in the CHSAA ClassA intersectional title game and had an outstanding career:
- 4 year starter
- Graduated as the 2nd leading scorer in Bishop Ford history
- Avg. 25.9 pts and 6.2 assista as a senior
- Named a Jordan Brand All-American
- 1st All State (Class A) by NYS Sportwriters Association
- 2nd team All-City by NY Daily News
During his Skyhawk days, Chaz was a very smart and proficient QB. He was instrumental in leading his Pee Wee and Bantam teams to the Championship Game. Chaz's game-breaking abilities were truly missed by the Skyhawk Bantams in 2005 when he elected to solely concentrate on basketball. Chaz went on to have great success at Bishop Ford and we know we'll hear more from him in the near future.
We wish you continued success in your future endeavors
Make Us Proud!!
