Miles College defeats Lane 38-26 on senior night

FAIRFIELD, Alabama -- Miles College picked up right where it left off this past Saturday in its 38-26 win against Lane College (Tenn.) Thursday night.

The Golden Bears returned to Albert J. Sloan-Alumni Stadium, the scene of its 40-17 homecoming win against Kentucky State days before and put up another impressive performance in downing another Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference foe.

Just like they did this past Saturday, the Golden Bears jumped out to a three-touchdown lead, going up 21-0 in the first quarter on a trio of touchdown passes from quarterback David Thomas.

Playing his final home game in Miles' uniform the senior hit wide receiver Darren Fife on a 20-yard strike with four minutes and 44 seconds into the game. He hit tight end Delarius Webb on a 6-yard toss with 6:26 and connected with emerging deep threat Earnest Bell for a 45-yard touchdown pass with 2:39 to play in the first.

"Well, we just want to come out the gates early, come out fast," Miles coach Reginald Ruffin said of his team's quick start. "We tell the guys to strike, make sure we keep our feet on the pedal. We just want our guys to keep getting better. That's what we'e asked our guys to come out and play assignment football, get after it and that's what they did."
