XULA Gold Rush tame Bearcats with school-record 16 3s

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana made a school-record 16 3-pointers Monday in a 94-68 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference men's basketball victory against Rust.
     
The Gold Rush (15-13, 6-6) will play GCAC and city rival SUNO at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Convocation Center.
     
Sophomore Rayshawn Mart made a career-best five 3-pointers in six attempts to lead XULA's perimeter shooters. Anfernee King and Jeff Dixon made three 3s apiece, Ed Carter and Khalil McCoy made two apiece, and Damani Flanagain.
     
Xavier University of Louisiana men's basketballThe previous mark was 14 made 3s against Wesley (Miss.) on Nov. 15, 2004, at XULA's previous home facility, The Barn. Alfred Williams, who was 1-of-1 on 3-pointers against Wesley, is in his third season as Gold Rush head coach.
     
XULA made 10 first-half 3s to build a 46-27 lead at the break. King tied the school record with 4:29 remaining. McCoy broke the mark at 1:29 and tacked on a 16th XULA trey with 33 seconds remaining.
     
The leading Gold Rush scorer, William Loyd, didn't attempt any 3s. He was 8-of-10 from the floor and 2-of-2 from the line to score 18 points — his eighth consecutive game in double figures. Mart and King scored 15 points apiece, and McCoy had 10, eight in the final two minutes.
     
Mart produced game highs of six assists and three blocked shots. King's point total was a season high.
     
Quentin Pough scored 23 points, Mycheal Robinson 17, Stacey Regular 13 and Ke'Jerrick Taylor 11 for the Bearcats (1-23, 0-13), who dropped their 15th in a row.
     
XULA shot 60.7 percent from the floor and 57.1 percent on 3-pointers. The Gold Rush, led by Haji Jawara's season-best nine rebounds, won the boards 38-22.
     
SUNO and Philander Smith will be XULA's final two opponents before the GCAC Tournament March 1-3 in Jacksonville, Fla. The Gold Rush have clinched the No. 5 seed in the eight-team event.

NSU Football Defense/Special Teams Preview: Ball-Hawking Spartans Look for More of the Same in 2018



NORFOLK, Virginia -- If there was one word to describe the Norfolk State defense last season, it would be opportunistic. The Spartans featured a defense in 2017 which forced 26 turnovers, including 17 interceptions.

What's more, the Spartans turned those opponent miscues into points, tying for the NCAA Division I FCS national lead in defensive touchdowns, with six. The Spartans scored two non-offensive touchdowns in wins against both Florida A&M and Morgan State. NSU forced at least one turnover in 10 games and at least three in five contests.

NSU will look for more of the same this year from a unit which returns six starters, including four from its ball-hawking secondary. Here is a position-by-position look at the Spartan defense and special teams heading into 2018:

DEFENSIVE LINE
NSU in a unique position along its defensive front this year. Despite losing the services of graduated three-time All-MEAC selection Chris Lee, the Spartans boast more depth than last season. The returners are headlined by senior defensive tackle Deshaywn Middleton. The preseason All-MEAC third-team selection has started 17 games in his two seasons with the Spartans, and has the ability to play either nose guard or tackle in NSU's modified defensive front. He was in on 39 tackles a year ago.

NSU's defensive coaches have a number of options in the trenches. The unit will be bolstered by the return of junior Kyron Speller, who was expected to be a key contributor last season before being lost for the season with an injury sustained during preseason camp. University of Nevada graduate transfer Ricky Thomas Jr. is also expected to have an early impact after spending three seasons at the Division I FBS level.

Other key returnees include sophomore De'Shaan Dixon, who showed loads of potential as a pass-rusher during his freshman season; sophomore nose guard Tavien Blackwell, who played in 10 games as a freshman last season; and junior Josh Bryant, who also played in 10 games but was slowed at times by nagging injuries. Also back is junior nose guard Walter Brantley, a proven run-stopper who was not with the team last season, but started eight times and tallied 58 tackles his first two years (2015-16) with the program.

"We're going to look a lot different up front this season just because of the depth we have this year, that we didn't always have last season," head coach Latrell Scott said.

LINEBACKER
Linebacker is another spot where the Spartans suffered some notable losses from last year's team, but still have plenty of potential. Gone from 2017 are All-MEAC performers Anthony Smith and Kyle Archie, the team's top two tacklers.

With the team switching to a slightly new look that will include, at times, four linebackers on the field, the Spartans will emphasize speed at the position. One way that will be accomplished is moving junior Nigel Chavis to more of an outside linebacker position, where he began his career in 2016. Chavis played defensive end last season and earned third-team All-MEAC accolades after leading all conference linemen with 82 tackles, including 8.5 for loss and five sacks. One of the team's top all-around players, Chavis will have even more opportunity to showcase his versatility this year.

Another outside linebacker position figures to be manned by converted quarterback Tyre Givers-Wilson. A redshirt sophomore, Givers-Wilson made the position change late in 2017 and has impressed coaches in the short few months that he's played the new position. Givers-Wilson, sophomore Matt Hodges and senior Michael Kwegyir-Attah bring speed and play-making ability to the edges of the Spartan defense.

Senior Quintreil Chung will man one inside linebacker position. Another former offensive player, Chung switched from running back to linebacker mid-year in 2017 and finished the year with 33 tackles in his eight games played on defense. Middle Tennessee transfer Dale Craig, redshirt senior and former defensive end James Byers, and redshirt freshman Marquis Hall will all see time and bring a variety of skill and athleticism to the inside linebacker position.

"I like the group we have at linebacker," Scott said. "They've been flying around making plays during camp, and I think we have a lot of potential in that room."

SECONDARY
Cornerbacks J.T. Wahee and Aaron Chandler and safeties Bobby Price and Nhyre' Quinerly started all 11 games at their respective positions last season. The Spartans tied for the MEAC lead with 17 interceptions as a team, and 11 came from that quartet of starting defensive backs. Just as impressively, three of the four (Quinerly, Wahee, Chandler) scored a defensive touchdown in 2017.

Wahee tied for fifth in the MEAC with four interceptions last season, scored on a 96-yard fumble return against Florida A&M and also on a defensive two-point conversion against Morgan State where he returned an INT the length of the field. He was named to the preseason All-MEAC second team.

Chandler picked off two passes last season, one of which he returned for a score in that same victory at Morgan State. Price also intercepted two passes and has shown the knack for making the bit hit from the back line of the defense.

Quinerly, the free safety, had an impressive first season with NSU after transferring from East Carolina. He made 62 tackles, two for loss, intercepted three passes and also scored on a fumble return (against JMU).

Cornerbacks Shaikh Carmichael and Rashard Russell Jr. and safety Mark Brown all contributed last season as well, particularly on special teams, and will add good depth to the secondary. Redshirt freshman Johnathan Gregory, sophomore newcomer Demetrius Harp and true freshmen Brandon Savage and Shaviaea Williams are also in the mix to see snaps in the defensive backfield.

SPECIAL TEAMS
The Spartans are very experienced in all phases of special teams. Sophomores Taylor Goettie (punter) and Josh Nardone (kicker) started as true freshmen. Goettie averaged nearly 39 yards per punt as a rookie, while Nardone made six field goals and converted all but one extra point in 2017. Those two will be aided by the addition of freshman Owen Malik.

Marcus Taylor led the MEAC in kickoff return average (23.8-yard average) and scored on a 100-yarder at JMU, the Spartans' first kickoff return TD since 2008. He will also get more opportunities to return punts this season. True freshman receiver Quentin Greene will also look to make an impact in the return game.

Long snapper Zac Denton and short snapper Dominic Jordan also return.

NSU Football Offensive Preview: Plenty of Depth, Firepower Return for Spartans in 2018

NORFOLK, Virginia -- It's no secret that Norfolk State featured a young football team in 2017.

In fact, last year's Spartans were, by most any measure, among the youngest teams in the MEAC. Thirty-eight players among the 80 on the roster were freshmen – either true freshmen or redshirt freshmen who did not play the previous year. That figure was the highest of any MEAC team. Fifty-five of the 80 were freshmen or sophomores, and 30 players saw their first collegiate action in 2017.

The results were indicative of a young, but talented team – enough talent to play with anyone in the MEAC, but at times some inconsistency in closing out games. NSU lost three games in 2017 by four points or less, the difference between a 7-4 season and the team's actual mark of 4-7.



Nowhere was that youth more evident than on the offensive side of the football. True freshmen took every snap at quarterback last season, and the offensive line featured only one player – Wes Jones, a junior in 2017 – who was not a freshman or sophomore.

That youth translates into a 2018 offense that returns full-time starters at essentially every position, including all five spots on the offensive line and the team's leading passer, rusher and receiver from last year. That experience and growth potential has head coach Latrell Scott optimistic about his team heading into the season.

Below is the first of a two-part season preview of the Spartan football team, with a position-by-position focus on the offensive unit. Check back next week for an in-depth look at the defense and special teams.

 QUARTERBACK
By the time Juwan Carter played every down of a win at Delaware State in the season's fourth game, passing for 292 yards and two scores, it became apparent that the Spartans had found their man at quarterback. Carter went on to pass for 1,827 yards and 13 touchdowns against just six interceptions in 2017, showing a knack for spreading the ball around and avoiding mistakes. Following a successful freshman campaign and offseason in the program, coaches are looking for even bigger things from Carter this season.

"Pootie has really matured a lot since he got here," Scott said. "He knows what he's doing out there – he understands why to throw certain places now. Plus, he's a natural leader."

Coaches also expect freshman mid-year enrollee D'Andre Thomas from Fork Union Military Academy to push Carter for time. Thomas is a promising 6-4 prospect with a strong arm. Acclaimed freshman Isaiah Wilson arrived this summer from Delaware with a strong high school pedigree, giving the Spartans good depth at the position.

 RUNNING BACK
NSU welcomes back nearly all of its skill position players from a year ago. At running back, the Spartans got by without a lot of depth in 2017, but that should not be the case this season. Leading rushers Aaron Savage (427 yards, 3 TD) and C.J. Jones (145, 1) return along with sophomore Malik Butts. Savage showed the ability to get tough yards between the tackles, but also provided big plays. He finished off the season strong, rushing for 188 yards and all three of his touchdowns in the final two games despite playing through a nagging injury. Now healthy, Savage is poised for a strong 2018 and was named to the preseason All-MEAC third team.

Jones showed the ability to be effective as both a rusher and pass-catcher out of the backfield, while Butts will look to climb the depth chart entering his third year in the program.

That trio will be joined by a trio of transfers that should help solidify the position. Juniors Cameryn Brent and Gerald Hulett are both coming off 1,000-yard seasons as junior college sophomores. Brent was the nation's leading rusher, averaging 152.6 yards per game at Holmes Community College in Mississippi. A Virginia native, Hulett ran for 895 yards and 18 touchdowns while adding 307 more yards and two TDs as a receiver out of the backfield for a Fullerton College (Calif.) team that went undefeated and was named the JC national champion by two organizations.

Also in the mix is Kevin Hicks, a local product, spent two seasons at the U.S. Military Academy (Army) and will also challenge for time.

RECEIVER/TIGHT END
The Spartans have three of their top four receivers back from last year, led by senior Marcus Taylor. Taylor was a second-team All-MEAC pick at kick returner and third-team at receiver last year, when he led the MEAC in all-purpose yardage (1,392) and paced the Spartans with six total touchdowns (five receiving, one on returns). Taylor has received several preseason accolades, including first-team preseason All-MEAC honors as a kick returner, second-team preseason All-MEAC mention at receiver, and was named to the watch list for the Black College Football Player of the Year Award.

Sophomore Isaiah Winstead came on strong toward the end of his freshman season in 2017. Winstead caught 29 passes for 344 yards and three scores despite starting just twice. He showed consistency as a freshman, catching at least one pass in every game.

Coaches look for redshirt junior Chuma Awanna to continue the year-to-year progression he's shown since enrolling at NSU. He caught 18 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores coming in a road win at Delaware State. He and Winstead are both 6-3, giving NSU's quarterbacks big targets on the outside.

Scott also expects redshirt sophomores Justin Smith and Marcque Ellington, redshirt freshman Stuart Anderson and true freshman Quentin Greene to have an impact on the passing game. Smith and Ellington both saw action last year and have showed continued improvement in the offseason, while Anderson's size and athleticism and Greene's speed will also be assets to the receiver corps.

At tight end, Anthony Williams started five times last season, splitting time with graduated senior Demetreus Ferebee. Williams was NSU's top pass catcher at the position last year, snagging eight passes for 102 yards. He will be joined by freshmen Sean Rettzo and Kareem Burgess.

 OFFENSIVE LINE
NSU did not have a senior start a single game along the offensive line last year, with seven underclassmen combining for all 55 possible starts in the trenches. This year, the unit gets a new leader in former Canadian Football League line mentor Kris Sweet. One of the unit's goals is to help NSU improve its rushing offense, creating the sort of run-pass balance that Scott prefers.

The unit will be led this year by junior tackle Kenneth Kirby, a third-team All-MEAC pick last year, and senior center Wes Jones, who has started 22 straight games. Kirby and Jones were both named to the preseason All-MEAC second team last month.

Jalen Powell started all 11 games at left guard as a true freshman a year ago, while Craig Rodwell started 10 times at right guard. Junior Dominic Jordan has 10 career starts as can play either guard or center positions, while talented redshirt freshman Justin Redd also helps give the Spartans a wealth of depth at the interior line spots. Sophomore Ian Williams and redshirt freshman Colby Byrd are other names to keep an eye on.

At tackle, sophomore Kyree Jones and redshirt sophomore Taro Lipscomb combined to start all 11 games last year. Another redshirt sophomore, Josh Culberson, and newcomer D'Montre' Smith will also compete for snaps.

Dan Ryan discusses the second B-CU scrimmage

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Florida – So amazingly spry was Terry Sims' after Saturday's grueling 120-play scrimmage in the August humidity that he could be both diplomatic and profound when asked about a football technical question.
 
Before that, Offensive Coordinator Allen Suber contended the primary reason his career pass completion percentage rate is 14 points lower than Quentin Williams was that the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference's (MEAC) defensive talent was in its heyday, even as he was torching it.
 
"Oh, I'm sure he DID say that," Sims said with a smile.
 
No, no, no, Sims wasn't implying that Suber's full of it. Well, he kind of was, but it was in a GOOD, respectful way and only in a way that those in the football brotherhood can appreciate and understand.



And, of course, no way are we belittling the amazing accomplishments of Suber on the field, or suggesting he's a better offensive coordinator than he was an on the field quarterback. In fact, when the Hall of Fame committee does it's concaving this week, his tenure will most definitely be on the agenda.
 
Then again, this gave us alleged football experts an excuse to blather rather than file scrimmage reports as we spend our August month churning stuff like this to complete midweek studio time and weekend opines to stir you up for the fast approaching season. And that gives us an opportunity to remind you to purchase your season tickets if you haven't done so yet…here's the link (PDF).
 
Still, here are the numbers we discovered updating the Wildcats Football records in preparing for the September 1 kickoff at Tennessee State.
 
We start with Bernard Hawk and the late J.D. Hall, both of whom who were Black College Football versions of Dan Marino back in the day. Both over 7,000 career yards and a combined 100 touchdown passes.
 
Hawk's career completion percentage: 49.4 overall.
 
Hall's: 48.5 overall.
 
Then you had Suber, who ran the "Wyatt Bone" on his way to 79 touchdowns, and responsible for and almost 8,000 total yards.
 
Suber's career completion percentage: 49.5 overall.
 
Now, let's jump to today and our two most recent signal callers.
 
Quentin Williams: SIXTY-THREE PERCENT (63.8 actually).
 
Larry Brihm, Jr.: FIFTY-NINE POINT EIGHT. He was 22nd in the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) last year. And with the exception of a few low-level arena/indoor football guys, he represents the highest level of quarterback we've produced with him on the active roster of the CFL's Calgary Stampeders.
 
So…are we a more efficient passing team these days?
 
"All I can speak on is all the offense we've had here, since I've been here," said Sims the diplomat. "Yes, the style of football has changed. We're trying to put ourselves in a position to get our skill guys to make plays."
 
Okay, Subes. What was that about the defense again?
 
"Things were more physical back then," Suber said. "The NFL guys from the MEAC back then were the defensive guys. [Justin] Durant and Kendall Langford from Hampton – second round draft pick. Nick Collins and Rashean Mathis from here – second rounders. Curtis Deloatch from North Carolina A&T. Tracy White from Howard and that other safety [Antoine Bethea] who played for the Colts.
 
To say the least, it was a talented defensive league.
 
How would Suber had fared today? Get ready. This is where the fun starts.
 
"Oh, I would be loving it," Suber smiles. "That's how I see it every day. I'd have Erik Lash on backside X – it'd be 1A and 1B with Shawn Ford and Taji Parrish at the W. Mookie…Antonio Stanley, he'd be at the other slot. Then, I still have guys like Eric Reed, Pat Brown was a downfield threat. Andre Thomas ran a 4.1."
 
The additional fun about this is that as you're listening to Suber, you can imagine Hawk talking about Leon Gonzalez, Sebastian Brown and Arthur Simmons the exact same way. Same for Hall about Jeff Parker, Carl Gibbons and Troy Grant.
 
And is this system that good to where we're once again putting out NFL receivers like Jawill Davis and finally quarterbacks like Brihm?
 
"A little bit of both," Sims said, again diplomatically. "It's all about putting the best possible product on the field."
 
So are the Wildcats a more efficient passing team these days? Is Suber a better signal caller than field general? Should we start considering Williams and Brihm in the same elite category as Hawk, Hall and Suber?
 
"I'll leave that up to you," said Suber as he made his way off the field after a long day.
 
"That's for folks like you," said Sims, who exited the field, even he felt like he just woke up.
 
And we'll leave it up to you, and remind you about season tickets as another week of #CatsCamp concludes.

B-CU Wildcats’ big wish: maintain success

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida --The Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats have had at least a share of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship for the past four years; they are looking to extend that streak in 2016.

The Wildcats are now expected to compete for a conference title every season. “The bar has been set high, and we want to continue to reset it and succeed,” coach Terry Sims said. “It’s a pressure game, and you want to be able to react to pressure in a positive way.”

Sims was named MEAC Coach of the Year in 2015 in his first season as head coach of B-CU. He had spent the previous five seasons as an assistant coach with the team and said being a head coach for the first time was “a little bit challenging, but I was up for the challenge.”

B-CU is replacing quarterback Quentin Williams, who graduated. The Wildcats led the conference in passing offense last season.

Next QBs step up into the spotlight



Grambling State - After losing Johnathan Williams, the SWAC offensive player of the year whose 37 touchdown passes tied for the most in the FCS, third-year coach Broderick Fobbs signed former Ole Miss third-string quarterback Deonte Kincade, a redshirt junior. He's basically been anointed as the No. 1 despite sitting out the spring with a broken foot suffered in Sugar Bowl warmups.

Bethune-Cookman - While it hurts to lose Quentin Williams, who played extensively over the last four years and was the FCS leader in passing efficiency last season, redshirt junior Larry Brihm has appeared in all but one game over the last two years. But considering the MEAC squad doesn't rely on one QB, junior college transfer Anthony Cruz, who at 6-5 is more of a pocket passer than a scrambler, and redshirt freshman Arkevious Williams have to be considered for playing time as well.
