WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina --The much-talked about CIAA football championship game between Winston-Salem State and Virginia State universities was canceled Friday after a player was assaulted at an awards luncheon.
Quarterback Rudy Johnson, who is 9-0 as the Rams’ starter this season, was attacked in a restroom at the Anderson Center on WSSU’s campus by several Virginia State players, coach Connell Maynor of the Rams said.
One of the Virginia State players, backup running back Lamont Darnell Britt, 22, of Portsmouth, Va., was arrested by Winston-Salem police and charged with assault and inflicting serious injury.
Lt. Henry Gray of the Winston-Salem State University Police said Britt assaulted Johnson by hitting Johnson in the face and head, according to the arrest warrant.
