Woody was presented a framed jersey from Coach Purlee and the 2011-12 Prairie Fire. Woody could not help himself, he had to give the players some advice. He gave his too classics- "Shoot it when you got it, and think about shooting when you don't." and "Remember when you pass, two of three things are going to be bad."

This is a nice story in the Register-Mail.
