Views Differ on Fight Before CIAA Title Game

ETTRICK, Virginia  -- Virginia State and Winston-Salem State have drastically varying versions of a fight that left the WSSU quarterback beaten in a bathroom.

Competing news conferences held Monday on the respective campuses only served to highlight just how far apart their perspectives are.
 
The only thing clear is that Winston-Salem State quarterback Rudy Johnson was injured during a fight at a luncheon the day before last week's scheduled CIAA championship game and a Virginia State player was arrested.
 
VSU coach Latrell Scott said there was a "rush to judgment" and that one player "made a bad decision."
 
A few hours later in Winston-Salem, N.C., WSSU Chancellor Donald Reaves called for further sanctions against Virginia State and declared his school "damaged" by the fight.
