All of us here at LC Bird are saddened to hear about the passing of Coach Jim Watters. Coach Watters was an institution here at Bird and one of the architects of what Bird Football would become. More than that though he was a tremendous human being. Rest Easy Coach !!

We are saddened by the passing of our beloved coach, Jim Watters. He wasn't just a coach, he was a mentor, a motivator, and a father figure to many of us for over 40 years. His legacy extends beyond wins and losses; it's in the countless lives he's touched. You will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hopewell football program and the entire Hopewell community tonight. Prayers of strength to the young man’s family and teammates 🙏🏼🙏🏼
