    27th Annual Awards Dinner October 22, 2015 President’s Message Inductees, Scholarship Recipients, Family and Friends, It is with great honor that I welcome you tonight to our 27nd Annual Newark Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Dinner. Since 1988, we have been honoring athletes from public and private schools in and around the City of Newark. Our initial purpose was to focus attention on Newark’s glorious past and it’s bright future by cre- ating a positive environment where friendships, camaraderie and memories can be renewed. Tonight we continue that tradition with eighteen new Inductees, four Scholarship Winners, a Life Time Achievement Award and two State Championship Teams, the 1963 Central Basketball and the 1966 South Side Football Teams The Honorees have proven, as in the past, that they are to be recognized as true role models, a characteristic very much in need these days, whether in a large city or a small town. You can turn to a bio page in this or any one of the previous twenty six books of inductees and find a role model you can be proud to emulate. The hallmarks of a good athlete are dedication, desire, teamwork, hard work, time management and good sportsmanship. These are the same qualities necessary to succeed in the classroom and the workplace. That’s why our Hall of Fame Family of Inductees are to be viewed as success stories, on and off the field. To our Scholarship Award Winners, you have been recognized to possess the characteristics outlined above; therefore, we wish you good fortune in college and hope to see you back here one evening on the dais, as a future Inductee into the Hall of Fame.

It’s good to gather with friends and supporters to celebrate another anniversary of this great sports institution. As a member of the Hall myself, I can tell you that it is an honor to be an inductee. Each year, outstanding athletes are inducted into the Hall in recognition of their achievements, both here as high school students and later on in college. The money raised tonight will go to scholarships for younger Newark scholar-athletes to defray educational costs. Athletes often become community leaders, as so many of our inductees prove, and stand as role models. We appreciate the participation of past inductees in the mentoring program we initiated, which has had a positive impact on the lives of these Newark students. Thank you for being part of our community of friends. Your participation here tonight will help make the dreams of some young scholar- athletes come true. We greatly appreciate your commitment to the Newark Athletic Hall of Fame, and look forward to seeing you next year.

    www.ClarenceGainesAward.com March 31, 2021 LUBBOCK CHRISTIAN’S TODD DUNCAN IS THE RECIPIENT OF THE 2021 CLARENCE GAINES NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD BOSTON, MA -- Lubbock Christian head coach Todd Duncan is the recipient of the 2021 Clarence Gaines award. Duncan led Lubbock Christian to one of the best seasons in program history. The Chaparrals began the season winning a school-record 16 straight games. LCU climbed to a No. 2 national ranking, which is the highest in program history. “To produce one of the best seasons in school history, during this difficult time, is really impressive,” said Joe Dwyer President of CollegeInsider.com.” Coach Duncan has been doing an outstanding job for a long time so his 2020-21 season shouldn’t be a real surprise.” The Chaps won the Lone Star Conference title, secured the No. 2 seed in the South Central Regional and finished the season 18-3. The Clarence Gaines Award, which is presented annually to the top Division II basketball coach, is named in honor of the former Winston Salem State head coach. One of the true legends of all-time, Gaines retired from Winston-Salem State University in 1993 with a record of 828-446. At the time he was the winningest active basketball coach in NCAA history. Gaines was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1982. During his 47-year tenure as coach and athletic director at WSSU he coached professional basketball greats Cleo Hill, the first African-American from an historically Black college and university to be drafted No.
