Growing up with three sisters and both of his parents, Billy Warren attended Neshaminy for his first 11 years of schooling. Before his senior year, Warren’s parents moved and he then attended his rival school Pennsbury High School.
While attending Pennsbury, he realized it was a better fit for him school wise as well as basketball wise. Overall, it was a better team and that is where his development is a part of the reason why he was able to get a scholarship and attend college.
“Being tall always helps but also at a young age I just watched basketball and loved the sport. The first time I started playing I realized that it’s just what I wanted to do and it is what I want to continue to do,” Warren said.
Warren chose to attend Bloomsburg University and play basketball there. After one year, he started looking to transfer to another college. This is where Cabrini University comes into play.
“One of the main reasons why I came here was because I heard they had a good communications program and it’s a good school overall,” Warren said. “As well as the coaches that have been recruiting me since my freshmen year and they never really gave up on me. They always saw potential in me so I thought it would be a good fit.”
Cabrini basketball coach, Tim McDonald, has been following Warren play while he was in high school both at Pennsbury and in his AAU season.
“I thought he played very hard and had good size and length,” McDonald said.
While McDonald was recruiting him, he noticed that Warren was a very good kid who loves the game of basketball and wants to continue to get better.
“When I heard he was leaving Bloomsburg, I thought it was a no-brainer to try and add him to our program and I am happy that we have,”McDonald said.
Not only has Warren made an impact on the coaches, he has also impacted some of the players on the team. One of his friends, Tyler Timson, was very happy to have Warren join Cabrini’s team.
“Billy, he’s a cool guy. He brings a lot of energy to the team with practice and game. He is also a competitor, he wants to compete everyday. Coach Mac did a great job having him come here,” Timson said.
Timson started the season with an injury so he has yet to play this season as of now.
“He’s been helping me through my rehab process so he’s just a great team guy, keeping my head out when times are low and just a great guy overall,” Timson said.
“He plays and practices with great effort and I have no doubt he will continue to improve. Billy along with a few other guys give us a very good young core of players to continue to build our team around for future success,” McDonald said.
