WSSU impressive in final scrimmage

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- With a long and grueling preseason camp nearly behind them, the Winston-Salem State Rams had a bounce in their step Wednesday night under the lights at their practice field.

Coach Kienus Boulware watched his team go through its final scrimmage before next week’s opener at UNC Pembroke. The Rams wanted to simulate the 7 p.m. start for next week’s game and the scrimmage under the lights worked out well.

“Guys can kind of get a feel for what it will be like next week,” Boulware said.

Boulware said he saw a lot of good things, but what he loved the most was the energy level.

“I’m thinking that the night atmosphere gets the guys going a little faster, and that’s good to see,” Boulware said after the scrimmage. “And I thought the conditioning is the best that it’s been, because I see guys moving very well and not sucking wind.”
