Young athletes thankful for all star athletic director

In the middle of his fifth year as LHS athletic director, players and coaches know Corey Williams as an approachable person — always willing to help and to do everything he can to make sure he truly has helped.
Dave Cornelia, a math teacher and girls basketball coach, described Williams as kid-oriented.
“He would do anything for the kids at LHS,” Cornelia said.
  Williams has worked at LHS for nine years. He is  highly involved in the LHS community, attending sports events for the school while overseeing the athletic department.
“I think he is just a great representative for us, not only here at the school, but for other schools and out in the community,” said Kevin Driskill, LHS principal.  
  Williams spent the first four years here teaching health and P.E. while coaching boys basketball. He knew he enjoyed that work, so when he was initially offered the position of athletic director and assistant principal, he turned it down. Williams said that at the time he didn’t know if he would be good at the job, or if he was qualified for it.
  After a year, Williams decided he liked his new role, and was happy for the opportunity. If no one would have asked him to do it, he said, he would have never known that he liked the job.
Garrett Beckman, senior football player, sees Williams as supportive.
“He’s there for us. He’s caring, he wants to talk about the games and everything, and talk to us even if it’s not about school,” Beckman said.
Williams also taught and coached in Nevada for 14 years, but family led him and his wife Since his and his wife to look for jobs in Idaho.
