Chowan Hawks grab historic victory

MURFREESBORO – Earthquake.

If it hasn’t shaken things up, it’s at least a seismic shift – football-wise – in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA).

Your usual top dogs don’t live here anymore. Or at least now they’ve got some company.

Chowan’s 27-3 win Saturday at James G. Garrison Stadium over league opponent Fayetteville State - the first in the school’s gridiron history - left the Hawks’ overall record at 3-2 midway through a season for the first time since 1999.

It also put them into a tie for first place in the CIAA Northern division with Elizabeth City State at 2-0; and it marked the first time Chowan’s defense had not allowed an opponent a touchdown since 2005.

How tenacious was the Hawks-D? They allowed just a single field goal from an offense that came in averaging over 23 points per game.

Junior Jason Ampy had 13 tackles while Anthony Joffrion and T.J. Batchelor assisted with 10 each. Batchelor also added two sacks in the contest, upping his season total to nine.
