DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Brian Jenkins rarely shows the type of emotion that he did following his Bethune-Cookman Wildcats' 42-17 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference win over North Carolina Central on Saturday.
Shortly after the final whistle, Jenkins marched over to the sidelines at Municipal Stadium and took a microphone from Wildcats' athletic director Lynn Thompson. He thanked the fans, gave a shout out to the band and even got a little sway going during the school's fight song.
In his postgame presser, he said someone told him he should let his team see him smile a little more. Of course, in typical Jenkins' fashion, he was not smiling at the time that he said as much. But down on the field he did, and for good reason – with the win over North Carolina Central (5-3, 4-1), B-CU (6-2, 5-0) took sole possession of first-place in the MEAC.
The Wildcats will have to lose twice in their final three games against teams that have a combined seven wins – Morgan State, Savannah State and Florida A&M – to potentially fall short of a conference title.
