Norfolk State's hopes for strong finish start with Savannah State

NORFOLK, Virginia -- First-year Norfolk State coach Latrell Scott admits that this has not been the season he envisioned when he left Virginia State to take over the Spartans in December.

But the season goes on, and Scott figures it's never too late to make progress.

NSU (2-6, 2-3 MEAC) will look to snap a three-game losing streak when lowly Savannah State visits Dick Price Stadium for homecoming at 2 p.m. today.

The Spartans, who have been outscored 110-68 during the recent skid, are all but out of the MEAC race.

But with three games remaining, there's still motivation to finish strong and be a spoiler - if not a factor - in the league standings.

"Obviously, we have goals and things that we want to do, (and) we're not excited about where we are," Scott said. "But I think these guys have improved. We've just got to continue to get our guys better and continue to add talent so that we can make sure that we're in that conversation."
