Winston-Salem State gearing up for preseason camp

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Coach Kienus Boulware of Winston-Salem State got serious about his bulging waistline this summer by shedding about 30 pounds thanks to healthy eating and putting in the hours on his bicycle.

He’s also serious about the start of preseason football camp later this week.

“We’re excited about it, and I think the guys will be focused especially with the way the season ended for us with that CIAA championship,” said Boulware, who will embark on his third season as head coach.

The Rams were a disappointing 6-5 last season but that sixth victory was a big one — a 17-14 win over Bowie State in the CIAA championship game thanks to a last-second field goal by Will Johnson.

“It’s been an interesting off-season,” Boulware said. “I’ve actually yet to take a vacation so I guess I can rule that out now. It’s pretty exciting to see how we respond coming off that championship seeing how young we were last season.”
