Cameron Woodall was a really talented basketball player who had previously played for Grambling State University and Tougaloo College. The HBCU athletics world is in mourning over his passing. A sad accident involving a four-wheeler took the life of Woodall, who was 26 years old, late on Saturday night in Raymond, Mississippi.
According to the Interim Hinds County Coroner Jeremiah Howard, the collision took place in the 10000 block of Midway Road at approximately 11:25 p.m. At the time, Woodall and another individual were riding separate four-wheelers when Woodall lost control of the vehicle and spun out of control. He succumbed to his wounds at the scene of the accident. The other rider was sent to a nearby hospital with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening.
Woodall enjoyed a high level of recognition in his area as well as among HBCU basketball circles. Having achieved great success at Raymond High School, he went on to pursue his athletic career at Grambling State, which is a member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). After some time, he changed schools and enrolled at Tougaloo College, which is an NAIA HBCU situated in Jackson, Mississippi.
AMR, the Byram and Raymond Volunteer Fire Departments, and the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office were among the emergency crews that arrived to the location in a short amount of time. At this point, the inquiry is being led by the sheriff’s office.
It was made public that Sheriff Tyree Jones expressed his sympathies, saying, “My heart goes out to the family, friends, and many loved ones, as well as Raymond High School and the Raymond basketball community.”
On the basketball floor as well as in the community, Woodall made an indelible impression that will not be forgotten. At this time, those who knew him via the athletics of HBCUs and the basketball scene in Mississippi are experiencing a profound sense of loss.
As of right now, there has been no announcement regarding the funeral or memorial services planning. Heartfelt condolences are sent by HBCU Gameday to Cameron Woodall’s family, teammates, and friends on the passing of their loved one. The countless people whose lives he changed will ensure that his legacy endures.
