Virginia State Football Preview: HOMECOMING

It’s a clash of the unbeatens as the VSU Trojans get set to battle Bowie State for #1 in CIAA Northern Division

ETTRICK, Virginia - This could be the game.  The game that determines who represents the North in the CIAA title game.  Two unbeatens will collide on the gridiron of Rogers Stadium at Virginia State University. The VSU Trojans are 5-0. The Bowie State Bulldogs are 6-0.

The Trojans want to grow their winning streak at their home field to seven straight games.  Oh, and by the way, it’s Virginia State’s Homecoming Game.

“Games like this is why you sign up to play football and coach football,” said VSU head coach Reggie Barlow.

The Trojans are enjoying their first 5-0 start to a season since 1993.

“We’ve been blessed with some amazing student-athletes. We do have a good group of guys. They’ve bought into the vision of what we wanted this 2017 season to be about,” Barlow said. “Our coaches [including Mark Carney, Dwone Sanders, Vernon Dean, Brandon Kirksey, Aaron Mehl and Alex Stadler] have done a good job of communicating the plan and what we want to get done.”
