SAVANNAH, Georgia -- Good things come to those who wait. Well at least in the case of the Savannah State University football team. With their first win under their belt, the Savannah State Tigers hit the road to take on Hampton University this Saturday at Armstrong Stadium.
Last week’s homecoming victory broke SSU’s 13-game losing streak, with a record of 1-6. Savannah State hopes to take the momentum into this week’s Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference game as they face off against the 1-5 Pirates.
Simon Heyward- MEAC Player of the week
Speaking of momentum, Savannah State junior and Savannah, GA native Simon Heyward (#8) hopes to keep it rolling after being selected as the MEAC Offensive Player of the Week. The SSU receiver’s three touchdowns helped push pass Edward Waters University, 42-35. Heyward recorded six passes for 160 yards against the EWC defense. Simon Heyward leads this season amongst SSU receivers with 27 catches, 535 yards, and five touchdowns.
Hampton University
Hampton University celebrates its Homecoming and Senior Day this Saturday as well as the final home game for the Pirates’ 2012 football season. HU hopes to improve its 1-3 MEAC record, after falling to North Carolina Central 37-20 in last Thursday’s game.
