WINSTON SALEM, North Carolina - Sitting here at press row at the Gaines Center and I’m watching the Winston-Salem State women play West Liberty. It’s the second course of a full-course sports day at WSSU.The day started with the Rams football team keeping the dream alive of winning a national championship when it beat New Haven 27-7 at Bowman Gray Stadium. Later tonight the Rams basketball team (4-0) will play Queens.
It seems like every time WSSU wins in football is ventures into new territory. This time the Rams set the season record for most wins by an HBCU. Fred Whitted, who keeps up with black-college athletics with his Black College Sports Encyclopedia, did some research on most wins in a season.
Whitted’s research shows that 12 wins were the most by HBCU in a season but now that WSSU has 13 it has the record.
NEXT GAME: WSSU vs. Wayne State (MI) at Bowman Gray Stadium, Winston Salem, N.C., Saturday, Dec. 10, 2011.
TV: ESPN
GAME TIME: Noon or 1 PM (to be finalized on Monday)
