C.E. "Big House" Gaines Hall of Fame
Lester Gaither is inducted into the WSSU C.E. “Big House” Gaines Athletic Hall of Fame for his accomplishments on the football field for the Rams. A member of the Rams’ football team from 1946-1949 playing under head coach Clarence “Big House” Gaines, Gaither compiled a stellar four-year career for the Rams, helping to lay the foundations of success for WSSU football en route to compiling a 20-12-1 record as a student-athlete. During his athletic career, and most notable following his career at WSSU, Gaither helped Gaines recruit the New York City metro area for basketball and football talent.
