WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- I keep waiting for Winston-Salem State to go conservative. I guess I’ll be
waiting a long time.
It struck me that no matter the stage, or the situation in any game, Coach
Connell Maynor always lets his players make plays. A lot of coaches, and I mean,
big-time coaches, sometimes never let their players do what they’ve been
practicing.
Most coaches tend to tighten up and be conservative on play calling but
Maynor’s different. And that’s why he’s such a good coach and won’t be stalking
the sidelines at WSSU that much longer.
Maynor, who is 35-3 in his three seasons, is heading to the biggest stage of
them all – the national championship game. The Rams will take on Valdosta State
on Saturday in Florence, Alabama.
“It’s not rocket science,” Maynor said about his style of going for it on
fourth down especially when the Rams’ offense has proven to be able to move the
ball during a game. “I’ve been saying this for three years. We are going to play
to our strengths and the defenses weakness. If you blitz we are going to throw
screens and slants…. But you have to have players.”
