SAVANNAH Georgia -- Savannah State has had two weeks off before playing two-time defending Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion North Carolina Central today at 2 p.m. in Durham, N.C.Usually that’s a good thing.
But the Tigers can hardly say they’ve had two weeks to prepare for the homecoming Eagles — not with Hurricane Matthew causing havoc in the area eight days ago.
“It’s an unusual week, but I think the guys feel fortunate that we’re able to come back and practice (after evacuating town),” said SSU coach Erik Raeburn, whose squad lost to Florida A&M 19-14 the last time out on Oct. 1. “It’s not ideal, but we’re thankful everyone’s OK. Everything else is workable.”.
The Tigers (1-3, 1-1 MEAC) lost a day of practice Monday as players returned back to Savannah. They lost two days of preparation the previous week for a home game against Morgan State which was rescheduled for Nov. 26.
