Norview grad's return to his roots helps give NSU a boost

Norfolk State athletic director Marty Miller
NORFOLK, VA - Norfolk State forward Chris McEachin has been down this road before, joining a team in need of a midseason spark.

It worked two years ago, when he helped lead Radford to a Big South tournament championship and the NCAA tournament. He hopes lightning strikes twice now that he's at Norfolk State, which hosts North Carolina Central at 6 tonight at Echols Hall.

"I had to sit out the first semester at Radford two years ago, and we were not playing all that well," McEachin said. "I'd like to think I was the X-factor when I came back."

The Highlanders were 3-7 when McEachin, then a sophomore, regained eligibility. They finished that season 21-12, losing to eventual national champion...

Norfolk State moves football game to South Carolina

The Norfolk State-Charleston Southern football game scheduled for Sept. 24 next season has been moved to South Carolina.

The game was originally scheduled to be held at Dick Price Stadium, but the Spartans agreed to move it because Charleston Southern had a scheduling conflict. NSU will play Charleston Southern at home in 2013.
