WSSU assistant Brown grieving loss of 'best friend'

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- Jamal Brown, an assistant men’s coach at Winston-Salem State, has been involved in a lot of college basketball games, but next week’s game against Shaw will be more personal than most of the others.

The teams will meet on Feb. 17 at the Gaines Center in a game originally scheduled for Wednesday but moved to next week because of the forecast for a winter storm. The women’s game will start at 5:30 p.m., and the doubleheader will be part of the Play for Kay initiative started to bring awareness to the fight against breast cancer.
 
Brown, in his first season with the Rams, is still grieving for his wife, Lola, who lost her 10-year battle with breast cancer Oct. 22. She was 38, and Jamal Brown said it was a fight to the finish.
