Welcome to the 2014 Athletics Hall of Fame

Induction Ceremony and LuncheonCoach Courtney Pruitt

Associate Director of Athletics/ Head Women’s Basketball Coach

The reason for our gathering today is well chronicled in the pages of this program. We welcome the Wiley community, our friends, and our families who join us in this celebration of the great athletes who have graced these hollowed grounds. We thank them and know that you share in our pride of the accomplishments of these individuals and teams. We look forward, with you, to bestowing similar accolades on those who will follow in these remarkable footsteps at Wiley College.

Allow me to take a moment to congratulate the Honorees on their induction to the Wiley College Athletic Hall of Fame. It is a great honor for them, their family, and all of Wildcat Nation. Each of you delivered championships or championship moments to Wiley as a player and as a student leader, but more importantly, you set an example on and off the playing surface with your family. You have given the modern day Wildcat a road map to emulate.

I want to join Dr. Joseph L. Morale in thanking the committee who worked so hard to make today possible. A special thanks to Trustee Richard Foppe’ Hodge Sr., Wiley College National Alumni Association Director of Events, your love of Wiley is unmatched and your dedication to excellence is appreciated more than you can ever imagine. Enjoy Homecoming 2014!



I am pleased to extend my congratulations to the Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2014. It is an honor to celebrate this momentous occasion with you. It takes a great deal of talent, effort, and determi-nation to achieve such a challenging goal and yet, you have shown it is possible.

Your commitment to excellence is evident and the diligence and effort you have given to your athletic performance at Wiley College serves as an example and inspiration to so many. We are proud that you are a part of the Wiley family.

Once again, congratulations and welcome home. May you continue to go forth inspired, glorious deeds to do.

In the True Spirit of Wiley,

Alvena JonesDirector, Alumni Relations

I would like to take this time to thank Wiley College for accepting me as one of their students and giving me the op-portunity to educate myself to higher levels of life. A special dedication to my family for the love and support they have provided to me throughout the years. As I am inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame, I share this special moment with the ones who have gone home to be with the Lord; my parents Emmitt and Loarine Richerson, and my two broth-ers McHerman and Emmitt Richerson. Today I share

this moment with my charming, adorable, and sweet husband, Dwayne Kinley and ex-traordinary sister, Emma Richerson. God Bless each of you Stella Richerson-Kinley Wiley College Alumna, Class of 1983

Congratulations to Coach Billy Brown

From Coach John & Dolly Payton



Wilbert, when I first met you, it was obvious how much you loved the game of basketball. You were so excited just to talk about having the

opportunity to play for Wiley College-and play you did! God allowed you to exceed your own expectations. When I look at you, I see the man I love, someone who works hard for what he believes in and a wonderful husband who always puts his family first. I want you to know that I am so proud of the man you are.

Congratulations on being selected for induc-tion into the Wiley College Athletic Hall of Fame.
