Warren Winston Williams returns for his second season as UD's starting point guard with an additional responsibility. He is the 2005-06 recipient of the Uhl Family Endowned Scholarship. Former Flyers Bill Uhl Sr. and Bill Uhl Jr. have endowed a scholarship that is awarded annually to a UD player who best exemplifies the qualities of high character and good sportsmanship. Williams was the only backcourt player to start every game in 2004-05. He led the team in assists (3.4) and averaged 6.8 points a game. He also shot .742 (49-66) from the line and .372 (29-78) from three-point range. Last year, he demonstrated a knack for making a happy event even better. He celebrated his 21st birthday on January 12 with 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3-pt., 2-2 FT) and eight rebounds (also a career high, and both leading the team) in the win over Richmond. A week later, on the day Brian and Yvette Gregory's baby daughter was born (Elyse Brianna), he matched the 17 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3-pt., 4-5 FT) and added four assists in the win over Saint Joseph's. The DeMatha grad then started for the first time in his hometown on January 30 and scored a career-high 18 points and passed out seven assists at GW. Williams backed up all-conference point guard Ramod Marshall his first two years at UD. Williams played in 29 games in his first season, but averaged just 1.8 points, 1.0 assists and 0.7 rebounds. As a freshman, Williams settled into the role as backup point guard over the course of the season. Over his last 19 games, Williams had 24 assists against 15 turnovers. He had more assists than turnovers for the first time in his college career at Duke and then did it for five straight games. A year later, he doubled (or better) his averages to 4.9 points, 2.1 assists and 1.6 rebounds, seeing action in all 33 games. He also led the Flyers in 3-pt. FG% in 2003-04, shooting .408 (31-76), after shooting just .267 (8-30) as a freshman. Williams shared UD's Chris Daniels Most Improved Player Award with Marques Bennett in 2003-04. A proven winner, Williams came to UD from one of the most-storied high school programs in America -- DeMatha High School in Hyattsville, Maryland -- where he played for coaching legend Morgan Wooten. He led his high school team to its second consecutive Washington (D.C.) Catholic Athletic Conference and city basketball championship as a senior. In the city championship game he scored 23 points and was named the game's MVP. He quarterbacked the Staggs to a 32-3 record, and the #8 ranking in the final USA Today Boys Basketball Super 25 national rankings. Williams averaged 15.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 7.0 assists in 2001-02. He was First Team All-League and Second Team All-Washington Metro and also played in the Capital Classic high school all-star game. As a junior, he averaged 11.2 points and 6.1 assists. During his sophomore season, Williams averaged 8.1 points and 6.5 assists. A three-year starter, DeMatha was 91-14 with Williams at the helm. He was also an accomplished soccer player for DeMatha before turning his full attention to basketball three years ago. Williams has a sister - Tracia Codling (age 32).
