N.C. A&T moves spring football game to Sunday

GREENSBORO,  North Carolina — N.C. A&T football's annual Blue and Gold Spring Game will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday at Aggie Stadium.

The game, originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, was postponed a day by the threat of inclement weather.

A&T is wrapping up its first spring practice session under head coach Sam Washington, who took over the program when Rod Broadway retired in January.

Washington was an assistant on Broadway's coaching staffs for 12 years dating back to their time at Grambling, and he takes the reins of a program coming off a 12-0 season with plenty of returning talent.

Quarterback Lamar Raynard, running back Marquell Cartwright and wide receiver Elijah Bell are all back after All-MEAC seasons, as are eight of 11 starters on defense.

The Aggies must replace four out of five offensive linemen, along with star kick returner Khris Gardin and linebackers Jeremy Taylor and Marcus Albert.
