VIDEO: Connell Maynor talks to his team after the game
WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Second-ranked Winston-Salem State punched its ticket to the Division II national championship game and punched West Texas A&M in the process.
The Rams rolled to a 41-18 victory against the 16th-ranked Buffaloes in front of about 8,500 at Bowman Gray Stadium on Saturday night.
“The guys were ready to play,” Coach Connell Maynor of WSSU said. “We knew that was a good football team, and I told the guys there’s going to be some adversity with two well-coached teams. There were two good football teams out there.”
But the Rams were the better team.
WSSU (14-0) racked up 511 yards using a deadly combination of quarterback Kameron Smith and a solid rushing game.
Running back Maurice Lewis had 118 yards on 21 carries and scored two touchdowns, and Bryce Sherman, who hasn’t played much at running back in recent games, added 73 yards on 10 carries and also scored a touchdown.
