WSSU Notes: Hayes working on 2014 schedule

WILLIAM '"BILL" HAYES
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, WSSU
WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- Athletics director Bill Hayes of Winston-Salem State said that the experience of playing in the Cleveland Classic for the second straight year was a good one.

“I think the players really liked it and got a chance to see the Pro Football Hall of Fame along the way,” Hayes said.

When asked if WSSU might return for a third straight year, Hayes said he had not had any contact with Classic officials.

Meanwhile, Hayes is continuing work on next year’s schedule. WSSU will open with a home game against UNC Pembroke and then has two open dates to fill. One possibility is to start a two-year home-and-home series with Tuskegee.

"We just have to figure out how to make some money for those dates, so we’ll look at our options,” Hayes said. “Scheduling is an inexact science so I just have to see what’s out there for us.”
