Winston-Salem, North Carolina -- Back in October and November when the Winston-Salem State football team was making a run to the Division II national championship the basketball team was also playing very well. But hardly anybody noticed.
Now the basketball team has a chance to make a similar run on the court. When I asked players after the CIAA title game if there were some hurt feelings when the football team was doing so well it didn’t seem to be that big of a deal.
“I mean, they were winning so how could you not be happy for them,” said point guard Marcus Wells. “We were out there in the parking lots of the football games selling programs and we saw what a big deal it was.”
Coach Bobby Collins of the Rams made sure to give credit to Connell Maynor after winning the CIAA basketball title. Collins said Maynor has set the bar high and that goes beyond the CIAA title.
