NORFOLK, Virginia -- Norfolk State has proven several times it can dig its way out of a hole.The Spartans are sick of having to shovel, though, and they're learning there's only so much dirt they can move.
Jordan Parks scored 24 points and North Carolina Central held on for a 60-56 win Saturday night at Echols Hall to take over first place in the MEAC.
Jeff Short, the league's leading scorer, scored a career-high 31 points for NSU (11-9, 4-1 MEAC), which rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit to put a scare into the defending league champion Eagles (13-5, 5-0).
The script was eerily familiar, even if the ending was different. Three times this season, the Spartans have overcome double-digit deficits to win.
