Fort Valley State cruises to homecoming win

FORT VALLEY, Georgia - At this rate, referees might have elbow and shoulder pain after officiating Fort Valley State football games.

As it is, the Wildcats are certainly inducing headaches on their own sidelines.

Despite an inability to go more than handful of plays against lesser competition much of the day without drawing a broad variety flags, Fort Valley State rolled to a 52-19 win Saturday over Concordia-Selma on homecoming at Wildcat Stadium.

FVSU improved to 3-5 in breaking a three-game losing streak while Concordia fell to 1-6.

The Wildcats have their third and final home game in six days when Morehouse visits in SIAC play. And officials for that game might need to loosening up their arms in pregame, certainly based on nearly every other FVSU outing all season.

FVSU crammed a game's worth of penalties in the first half alone, racking up 16 flags for 122 yards. The Wildcats entered the game averaging 14 flags for 129 yards, so they were above/below average in both categories by early in the third quarter.
