Charlotte 49ers men's basketball legend and the program's all-time leading scorer Henry Williams has passed away. He was 47.
"It is a sad day in Niner Nation," said former Charlotte 49ers coach Jeff Mullins, who coached Williams during his career with the 49ers. "Henry was a great young man, a great athlete and a family man. Henry has fought a difficult fight over the last 15 years with a great deal of courage and bravery. Henry always had a smile on his face and would never let you feel bad for him. We will all miss him."
Williams, who starred for the 49ers from 1988-92, finished his career as the program's all-time leading scorer with 2,383 career points.
