WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Defensive lineman Casey Davenport of Winston-Salem State marked his 26th birthday Wednesday with a hard 2½-hour practice instead of a celebration.
“It’s my birthday, sure, but there’s no time to celebrate because it’s time to get back to work,” said Davenport, a fifth-year senior who is expected to play a key role this season.
Expectations are high for the Rams, and spirits were, too, Wednesday morning for the first full practice of preseason camp. The Rams have won 24 straight games against CIAA opponents and two straight conference titles, and they’re again the team to beat.
“How good can we be?” asked Kienus Boulware, in his first season as the head coach after four seasons as the defensive coordinator for Connell Maynor. “If we don’t pay attention to those rankings and all of that and we keep grinding, then we should be OK.”
