Fayetteville State faces another must-win CIAA showdown against Winston-Salem State


FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina -- Fayetteville State coach said this week's practices were unremarkable. Nothing special.


"We're just going about our business," Lawrence Kershaw said. "Nobody's putting any extra emphasis on anything, which is good."

Today's game against CIAA heavyweight Winston-Salem State (8-1 overall, 6-0 CIAA) certainly qualifies as a big deal. A win would give the Broncos (5-4, 5-1) the Southern Division title and a spot in next week's league championship game. A loss would end their season.

But again, none of this really showed up in the form of especially intense practices. Kershaw said his team seemed unfazed.

Perhaps that's because this season's Broncos team has been most comfortable when the stakes have been uncomfortably high.
