I wish he would have played in the NFL and he would have been a good quarterback no doubt

[@swaters5127]

He wasn't drafted. Played for the Knicks instead. He then went into teaching/coaching like his parents.

[@mikelw9445]

He was not only the best player, but good man

[@philmoore075]

Western PA definitely has the most sports faces and figures

Charlie Ward’s daddy was one of the teachers and coaches at Central high school in Thomas county.

sure did teach at central high. He would hand out pamphlets, all day to his students and not speak a word to those same students I guess you call that teaching.
