My condolences to the Hill Family. Coach Hill was a great teacher and always found a way to bring out the best in his students and athletes. Even those that were not in his class he motivated and for that it inspired us all to want to be the best we can be. Rest In Paradise Coach Hill.

Mr Hill, you were one of the coaches that inspired me to become a coach. Your legacy will live on as I coach going forward. You are, and were a hero to many of us who needed a positive male figure who helped us through that awkward stage of life known as the teen years. God bless you.
