🏈 A Gift That Gives Back! 🏈

A HUGE Warrior THANK YOU to former Warrior standout and 2025 graduate, Justin Hill who has given an unbelievable gift to the Winton Woods Football Program!

The University of Alabama sophomore linebacker recently donated a brand-new equipment trailer to the Winton Woods Football Program. The trailer proudly showcases the Warriors’ football legacy, including state championship seasons in 2021 and 2009, the 2017 state runner-up finish, and regional championship seasons in 2021, 2018, 2017 and 2009.

And on the back? A special tribute to Justin’s next chapter: Alabama’s iconic script “A,” J Hill, and his No. 8.

Thank you, Justin, for giving back to the program that helped shape you. Once a Warrior, always a Warrior! 💚💙🏈
