Led by U of I senior, family makes the cut with Evans Scholars

Jeff Vorva Times correspondent Lockport native Bobby Gikas earned an Evans Scholarship for the class of 2017 and parlayed it into some recent fame at the University of Illinois. He is the Illini’s men’s basketball manager, a usually obscure position.  Because of COVID-19 concerns, the nationally ranked Illini are playing in near empty arenas with no bands or cheerleaders. So, Gikas provides some of the noise. He jumps around yelling encouragement to players and holds up signs. And he is getting noticed. “Having Bobby bring that juice, I think that’s very important,” freshman player Andre Cubelo told the Champaign News-Gazette. “I love Bobby.”

CCNC Youth Caddy Scholars Program Begins

Golf and community involvement are two areas the Country Club of North Carolina prides itself in, and the club is preparing to start a youth caddie program that will embody both. CCNC’s youth caddies will be a part of the Evans Scholars Foundation, which has a scholarship program that has sent more than 11,000 students to college on full-ride scholarships since its inception in 1930. “The club has a long history of trying to be a good neighbor,” said Jeff Dotson, the club’s PGA Director of Golf. “I think it’s a natural tie-in with golf and trying to help young kids gain some exposure to the game, while they are able to make a little bit of money. Especially with the potential opportunity with a scholarship, I think it’s kind of a no-brainer in that sense.”
