GRAMBLING, LA — You can't win the Southwestern Atheletic Conference Championship at the State Fair Classic, but you certainly can lose it.
In each of the last two seasons the winner of the annual matchup between Grambling State and Prairie View A&M has gone on to run the table in conference play, win the SWAC Western Division and win the SWAC Championship game in December. The loser of the game has never really had a chance to get back in the race, regardless of how well it played for the rest of the season.
GSU's Anthony cleared to 'exercise'
Grambling State defensive end Christian Anthony has been "released to do some exercising" on his own, six weeks after the 22-year-old senior suffered a heart attack. "He's doing much better," Grambling head coach Rod Broadway said. "It's just moderate exercising and we're telling him, 'don't overdo it.' We're just trying to get him well. Our main concern is he gets healthy." Anthony, a 6-foot-4, 275-pound defensive end, was dominant last season.
GSU's Warren fun to watch, a pain to play
In preparing for a key Southwestern Athletic Conference showdown against Grambling this week, Alabama A&M coach Anthony Jones has spent more than a few minutes watching video of Frank Warren.
Upon closer inspection, he’d rather not watch it. Jones has decided he’s got a respectful kind of love-hate thing going on with Warren, the Tigers’ top tailback. As an objective judge of talent, Jones loves what he sees in Warren, a 5-foot-9, 200-pound tailback from Pleasant Grove, Ala., who’s off to a cheetah-like start this season.
