There’s no time like homecoming to reflect on the student athletes who led us victory.
Dr. Claudie Mackey, co-founder of the Elizabeth City State University Sports Hall of Fame, will welcome a crowd to the K.E. White Center on October 16 to reflect on the era when our inductees outperformed their competitors. Three of the inductees played football and one was a champion wrestler.
Calvin Webster, was a four-year letterman who played defense for the Vikings between 1964 and 1967. He earned “Rookie of the Year” as a freshman. He was an alternate kicker for his team. Webster died in December of 2012.
Gary Moore was an outstanding wrestler for the Vikings for four years. He served as co-caption of the team during his senior year when they won the university’s fourth Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship.
Tim Johnson was a four-year letterman for the football team between 1989 – 1992. During his senior year he selected as an ALL-CIAA quarterback.
Demetrius Hardison was an offensive lineman for the Vikings between 1989 and 1992. He played center as a senior and was named Offensive Team Captain for the Vikings. Hardison was also named to the ALL CIAA Football 1st Team in 1992.
