I will never forget seeing him throw a football before practice one day. He launched the football 50-55 yards with no effort and it was a perfect spiral. One year while I was in college, I served as a coaching assistant and intern at Tate. Coach Madison had me working with the 9th Grade Team and the Varsity. Woody was the Head Coach of the 9th Grade Team. I loved working with Woody and have great memories of working with him and Neil. Woody McCorvey is a Great Coach but he is an even Better Person and Man. Congratulations Woody, it is a well deserved recognition! I was a senior football player at Tate when Woody was first hired.

Congratulations for a well deserved recognition & award. Coach, your father was so proud of you. He would tell me of al that you would be doing & what you had done for him.
