BROOKVILLE, New York — Winston-Salem State’s players and coaches were thrilled to get a bid to the NCAA Division II playoffs.

How long the Rams want to stay around in the playoffs will be answered today at noon against unbeaten and 10th-ranked Long Island Post. The game can heard on WEGO (980 AM in Winston-Salem).

The Rams (9-2) are riding an eight-game win streak and have a wave of confidence after winning a shootout with Bowie State 43-33 last Saturday in the CIAA championship game.



“We are a confident team,” said Rams’ running back Kerrion Moore, who has picked up the slack in the running game after the season-ending injury to starter Te’Vaughn Hurse.

What separated the Rams from a lot of schools in the CIAA was depth, but teams in the playoffs, such as the Pioneers, also have depth. The Rams have a deep rotation of running backs with Moore, Justus Pickett and Xavier Quick.
