DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Football is king in this country, and so it was on the local college scene
this year. While Bethune-Cookman dominated its conference, Stetson put together
its first team in 56 years, reigniting football fever on the west side of the
county.
Our
local colleges also excelled in other sports. Here is a look at the top 10 local
college stories of the year:

Bethune-Cookman football makes playoffs, re-signs coach
The
Wildcats went undefeated in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for the first
time in 28 years and qualified for the Football Championship Subdivision
playoffs for the fourth time in school history — the second time in three years
since Brian Jenkins became head coach.
The
season wasn't without controversy, however. Jenkins refused to let his players
speak to the media after a loss at Miami, and he was ejected from the Morgan
State game, which led to a reprimand and fine from the MEAC.
After
the season, Jenkins showed interest in the head coaching job at Southern
University, but the day before his scheduled interview in Baton Rouge, La., he
signed a contract extension to remain with the Wildcats.
