FAMU Rattlers look to make most of final 3 games

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M coach Alex Wood is disappointed with the way the Rattlers’ season has gone so far, but said there are still games left to play.

If nothing else, he said, the Rattlers (1-7, 1-4 MEAC) will come out ready to play in each of the teams final games, all of which are on the road.

“We’re professionals,” Wood said .

“There are games left to play and we made a commitment to do this. Not to do it because it’s going well, you do it because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Finish out strong.”

FAMU takes on Hampton (4-5, 3-3) at 1 p.m. on Saturday in Virginia. The Rattlers haven’t faced the Pirates since 2012, but Florida A&M is 13-8 all time against Hampton.

Wood said the team is still excited to play, but there’s no shaking the sense of disappointment in the Rattlers’ season. FAMU is once again in danger of ending up with 10 losses for the first time in school history.
