Billy Turnage is set to become the next Boy’s Varsity Basketball Head Coach at Holy Cross High School, according to a press release from the school. He returns to Flushing, NY where he attended school and played for the team for three seasons. Turnage also served as an Assistant Coach at Holy Cross upon graduating college.
Most recently Turnage spent the past 18 seasons at Wings Academy in The Bronx where he has won 12 Bronx Borough PSAL Championships. In 2015, the team won both PSAL and NYS Federation Class AA Championships.
Turnage and Wings have competed in the Gotham Hoops Classic over the years. In their first appearance in 2019, they lost a hard fought battle to Holy Cross in Queens. The team also participated this past season, defeating PSAL-foe Brooklyn Collegiate (NY) before falling to Benjamin Cardozo (NY) in their second game.
The St. Albans, NY native has recruited and coached countless college prospects during his time at Wings. Expect the same for Holy Cross moving forward.
