Billy Westmoreland (1950’s)
An all-midstate football star at CHS in the mid-1950’s, best remembered as one of the most widely-known professional bass fishermen of his time. He played some junior college football and later coached two sports in high school, but turned to fishing in the 1970’s. A member of the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame, he was a widely-published syndicated columnist and also hosted a very popular TV show for several years.
“It is my honor to accept this on behalf of my late uncle,” Westmoreland’s nephew Kenny Westmoreland said. “Thank you.”
