WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- It doesn’t happen often in the CIAA, but the two schools playing in the league’s championship game at Bowman Gray Stadium on Saturday are both ranked in the top 25 in Division II football poll.
Ninth-ranked Winston-Salem State, the two-time defending CIAA champion, will take on No. 22 Virginia State at 1 p.m. in one of the more intriguing title games in a long time. Both teams are 9-1 and they have yet to face each other since WSSU re-joined the CIAA before the 2010 season.
The Rams, who are 44-5 in Coach Connell Maynor’s four seasons, have played everybody in the CIAA at least once since 2010 — except for Virginia State and Lincoln (Pa.).
"We have a good Virginia State team coming in here, so we have to be ready,” Maynor said. “(They have) a great coach who has turned them around and got them 9-1, so they are going to come in here thinking they can beat us.
