Godfrey died on Aug. 1 at the age of 83 . The Georgia Sports Hall of Fame coach coached and taught at Southwest DeKalb High School from 1983 until 2012 and won a state title in 1995.
Godfrey’s family tells Channel 2 Action News that they have established the William Buck Godfrey Legacy Scholarship.
“Coach William ‘Buck’ Godfrey spent more than three decades at Southwest DeKalb High School as a head football coach, English teacher, and author. He led his teams to 273 victories and a state championship, while sending hundreds of student-athletes to college on scholarship. This fund carries his work forward by supporting students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities,” his family says.
