The Saga of Dwight Williams

One of the most intriguing players to ever suit up for head coach Dave Gavitt at Providence College was a six foot point guard out of Buffalo, NY named Dwight Williams.

Williams came to PC as a sophomore in the fall of 1976 after leading the University of Southern Idaho to the National Junior College Championship over Mercer County Community College. He was an explosive scorer in high school, averaging nearly 40 points per game.

Williams had all the tools of a modern day point guard. He was lightning quick and could take the ball to the basket with ease.
