“This is an awesome hire for Karen Barefoot. I’ve known Asia for almost 15 years as her coach and mentor. Asia will bring energy, passion and a competitive spirit to all she does. Her strengths as a leader, winner and recruiter will make an immediate impact to the program. As a former Wake Forest women’s basketball standout, Asia understands the demands of a student-athlete and will serve as a resource and role model. Asia is a players’ coach and has a strong knowledge of the game. She is a rising star in this profession and I am looking forward to watching her help guide the Seahawks to new heights.”
- Natasha Adair, Delaware Head Coach
“Over 25 years ago, Hillside High School established a set of core values as the cornerstones of our program - Spiritual and Family Values, Academic Excellence, Commitment to Your Craft and Being a Responsible Social Decision Maker. We have coached hundreds of young women to establish these values as priorities, and many have used this value-based platform as a foundation to success. None, however, has exemplified these values greater than Asia Williams. Congrats should also go to the UNCW leadership for recognizing the traits of high character, academic excellence, high basketball IQ and the socially responsible individual that Asia continues to be.”
- Ovester Grays, Hillside High School Director of Athletics and Head Girls’ Basketball Coach
