High school

Hodge played basketball at Woodlawn High School. He won multiple awards:

  • 6A Player of the Year
  • Super 5
  • Was one of many players from his high school to play in All State or All Tournament.
  • College career

    Hodge was well known for his 3-pointer against the state rivals, University of Alabama. He sank the needed 3-pointer with two seconds left in regulation; it was needed to win the game and advance. This happened in the first round of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Southeast Regional Tournament. In the next game South Alabama would play the eventual NCAA Division I champion University of Michigan, but would lose 91-82.

    During their playing days at South Alabama, fellow guard Junie Lewis and Hodge were usually referred to as "peanut butter and jelly", respectively.

    Professional career

    Following the close of his college career, Hodge was drafted in the second round of the 1989 NBA draft (53rd pick overall) by the Dallas Mavericks. He never played in the NBA, but did play in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) for the Wichita Falls Texans and Oklahoma City Cavalry. He averaged 17 points per game for his 64-game CBA career.
