BOWIE, Maryland -- Cameron Knox, a 27-year-old senior guard at Bowie State, doesn’t shy away from the tough questions.

When asked where he’d be if not playing a starring role for the Bulldogs this season he was blunt: “I’d be in jail or worse.”

Knox has been the glue that’s helped Coach Darrell Brooks and the Bulldogs to yet another outstanding season where they could win their second CIAA title in three years.

The CIAA Tournament will be this week at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte.

Knox, who is from Baltimore, was named the CIAA player of the year last week. His 5-11, 175-pound body might be older than all of his teammates, but it hasn’t stopped him from being a force.

“I’m just more comfortable this season and I’ve learned how to play in Coach’s system and it’s worked out,” said Knox, who is one of the top scorers in the league.
