WSSU Rams say they’re not satisfied just being back in semis

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  --  Winston-Salem State is in the same spot it was in last season — the semifinals of the Division II football playoffs.

WSSU (13-0, ranked No. 2) will play West Texas A&M (12-2, ranked No. 16) at 6:30 Saturday at Bowman Gray Stadium.

The Rams lost in the semis last season, 21-14 to Wayne State. Many of the players from that team are back, and they’ve had a long time to chew on the loss.

Wide receiver Jamal Williams said Tuesday that reaching the semifinals again is nice but that it won’t mean anything if the Rams don’t win.

“It’s more so that we are trying to refocus again,” Williams said. “We had focus for the last two playoff games, and now we have to raise the bar even more knowing that this is where we were at this point last season. We haven’t done anything different, but we want to come out and prove to ourselves that we can get it done.”
