Prairie View survives Alabama A&M's second-half rally
PRAIRIE VIEW — The Prairie View A&M Panthers are guaranteed at least a share of the Southwestern Athletic Conference Western Division title with Saturday’s 33-27 win over Alabama A&M, but they took little happiness with the result. Neither did coach Henry Frazier III. The Panthers (6-1, 5-0 SWAC) relinquished a 26-point, second-half lead before holding on for a heart-stopping win before a crowd of 4,876 at Blackshear Stadium. The Bulldogs scored 20 unanswered points within the final 17 minutes to reduce the deficit to six with 56 seconds remaining, but Prairie View recovered an onside kick to preserve the win.
