Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina Central set for MEAC showdown

DAYTONA BEACH — Bethune-Cookman coach Brian Jenkins said he and his assistants watched North Carolina Central game film this week with mouths wide open.

N.C. Central coach Henry Frazier said when he watched B-CU film, he saw “absolutely no weakness in their football team.''

Hyperbole? Maybe.

But both teams have rolled through the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference this season with the precision of a surgeon. They are both 5-2, 4-0 in the conference, setting up a showdown for first place at 4 p.m. Saturday at Municipal Stadium on B-CU's Senior Day.

It's no surprise that the Wildcats are battling for another MEAC championship. They were co-champs in 2010 and finished in a second-place tie last season. North Carolina Central, however, went 1-7 (tied for last place) in its first year in the league last season and 2-9 overall.
