Winston-Salem Rams’ Hill fighting through the pain

WINSTON-SALEM, North Caolina -- Winston Hill’s being in uniform for spring football at Winston-Salem State is a minor medical miracle.

Hill, a starting offensive lineman his first two seasons (2010 and 2011), has had two ankle surgeries that have led to two wasted seasons. He originally hurt his ankle early in the 2012 season and never made it back for the Rams’ run to the NCAA Division II championship game.

He had hoped to return last season, but couldn’t — and he had another ankle surgery.

Now scheduled to graduate next month, Hill could have given up on football, but he refused.
