WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Kermit Blount and Tory Woodbury will be on familiar, sacred ground on Saturday when Johnson C. Smith comes to Bowman Gray Stadium to take on Winston-Salem State.With both programs at 1-4, it’s shaping up to be the ultimate pillow fight as each tries to get on track this season.
For Blount, in his first season as head coach at Johnson C. Smith, and Woodbury, the offensive coordinator, it will also be a homecoming. Blount and Woodbury are both former quarterbacks with the Rams and are in the Big House Gaines Hall of Fame.
“Oh boy,” Blount said earlier this week when asked about coming back to Bowman Gray Stadium. “It’s been so long since I’ve been back I might need a map.”
Blount, who played on some of the best teams in WSSU history in the 1970s, also coached the Rams for 16 seasons. He’s the all-time wins leader in school history with 91 victories but was fired after 2009 when the Rams went 1-10 in their last year before forgoing the move to Division I.
Blount, 57, went on to coach Delaware State for four seasons but after being fired there, he resurfaced in the CIAA but is wearing the gold and blue of Johnson C. Smith.
