DAYTONA BEACH, FL -- After South Carolina State's 26-18 win over Bethune-Cookman on Saturday, tears welled up in Bulldogs coach Buddy Pough's eyes as he stood with his team in front of Municipal Stadium's visiting bleachers listening to the band play the school's alma mater.
On the other side of the field, some B-CU players were ready to walk away when senior linebacker Ryan Lewis reminded them that they too must stand in front of their fans for the Wildcats band to play the alma mater.
"It's showing respect to our school, our alumni and our founder," Lewis said. "Win, lose or draw, we finish the game with the school alma mater. That's how we finish games. I let the guys know we still had to do that, regardless."
