WSSU Rams Boulware surprised about top billing in CIAA

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina --After losing close to 35 players off last year’s football team, Coach Kienus Boulware didn’t know what to expect when the CIAA’s preseason coaches’ poll came out.

“I was surprised,” Boulware said about the Rams being selected to win the conference title.

The Rams, the four-time defending Southern Division champions, lost to Virginia State in the CIAA championship game last season. The Rams finished 9-2 and missed the playoffs for the first time in three seasons but will enter this season with a 28-game regular-season win streak against conference opponents.

“I guess the biggest surprise was that Virginia State wasn’t picked to repeat, but they did have a coaching change, so I guess that’s why,” Boulware said.
