That includes a 10-2 record and conference championship in 1997 and last year's state championship. During last Saturday's cere mony, Wilkes talked about the Wilkes I m III I? Hall program's days down in the valley and how through faith they were able to enjoy their mountaintop experience at the state champi onship game in Chapel Hill. Donald Evans, a former team mate of Wilkes' at Winston-Salem State and former professional NFL player, also mentioned it as he and his company presented Wilkes and assistant coaches Robert Wynn and Darryl Hall with trophies. , Evans, a financial supporter of The mothers of the Cantor football players heated the audience to a rendering of the YeHovtjackets' pre-game song "Mama, Mama, can't you see what the Lord has done for met" the program, helped honor the team by making a generous contri bution toward the state champi onship rings. It allowed the school to upgrade the rings from the stan dard gold-plated variety to a sleek 10-karat gold finish. Evans* contri butions to the Yellowjackets' pro gram since Wilkes became head coach now exceed $50,000. That is a credit to Wilkes and the commitment to his program and the players.

Evans said the players deserved an award worthy of what all involved had done to take the pro gram to its current level. Looking back at where they've been in the recent past, and where they are now, the Yellowjackets indeed had a reason to celebrate.
