Bill Winter was a key player in Nitro High School's 1960 season in which they went 10-0 in the regular season, outscoring their opponents 258-44. Nitro played in the West Virginia AAA state championship game. The Nitro Wildcats ultimately lost to Weir by a score of 40-0.

Of note, Winter's youngest brother Tom would also play linebacker and guard for the Nitro High School football team from 1964–1966; during this span, the team would go 8-22.

Famous quotes containing the words high, school and/or career:

    There were metal detectors on the staff-room doors and Hernandez usually had a drawer full of push-daggers, nunchuks, stun-guns, knucks, boot-knives, and whatever else the detectors had picked up. Like Friday morning at a South Miami high school.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    The happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
