Newton, Johnson Named MEAC Offensive, Defensive Players of Year


NEW YORK CITY  -- Howard University quarterback Caylin Newton and North Carolina A&T State defensive end Darryl Johnson were named the 2018 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, respectively. The players were named officially at the 61st annual National Football Foundation & College Football Hall of Fame press conference on Tuesday morning in New York City, which was streamed live on Facebook.

 After winning the 2017 MEAC Rookie of the Year award, Newton ended his sophomore campaign ranking among the nation's leaders in several categories, including passing yards per completion (1st/16.85) and total offense (7th/313.3). The Atlanta product was named to the 2018 Walter Payton Award Watch List after winning MEAC Offensive Player of the Week twice and is a finalist for the Black College Football Player of the Year Award. In the season opener against Ohio (Sept. 1), he posted 532 total yards, which was the third-highest output in program history. Newton completed his sophomore campaign as the MEAC's top passer with 2,629 yards and 22 touchdowns in 10 games.

 Newton is Howard's first MEAC Offensive Player of the Year since Greg McGhee's back-to-back honors in 2013 and 2014. He is the younger brother of NFL superstar Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers and the first MEAC Offensive MVP as a sophomore since Tarik Cohen in 2014. As a freshman, Newton made national headlines as he led Howard to the largest upset vs. the spread in college football history. Howard was a 45-point underdog against UNLV.

 Johnson, N.C. A&T State's first MEAC Defensive Player of the Year since Chris McNeil in 1997, leads the MEAC in sacks (10.5) and tackles for loss (18.5). He is a two-time first-team All-MEAC performer for the nationally ranked Aggies and is also a candidate for the Buck Buchanan Award for the best FCS defensive player in the nation. The 6-5 standout from Kingsland, Ga. is also a finalist for the Black College Football Player of the Year Award as he has had at least a half-sack in every game played this season with a high of two versus Gardner-Webb. With Johnson the anchor of the defensive line, North Carolina A&T State ranks second nationally in total defense amongst FCS teams and first in rush defense.

 This year’s honorees are both underclassmen as this marks the first time since 2014 that the Player of the Years are both underclassmen (Tarik Cohen / Javon Hargrave). The Aggies have also had at least one student-athlete earn either MEAC Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year for the fifth straight year.

 NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana has produced another first for its volleyball program with the selection of Pat Kendrick as the 2018 American Volleyball Coaches Association NAIA All-Southeast Region Coach of the Year.
     
The AVCA cited three XULA student-athletes, all sophomores, in the region. Kayla Blackwas voted to the first team, and Eva Le Guillou and Vivica Price-Spraggins received honorable mention.
     
Xavier University of Louisiana women's volleyballThe Gold Nuggets were 26-7 this season and 14-0 in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference. For the eighth consecutive year they won GCAC regular-season and tournament championships and qualified automatically for the NAIA National Championship tournament.
     
Kendrick, in her second season at XULA, led the Nuggets to their first-ever victory against a ranked NAIA opponent when they defeated No. 22 Indiana Wesleyan in four sets in August. Her team set school season records with a .262 hitting percentage and 1.85 blocks per game.
     
All three honored sophomores set school season records. Black, from Spring, Texas, and a graduate of St. Pius X High in Houston, set marks with 407 kills, 3.84 kills per set and 23 matches of 10-or-more kills. Le Guillou, from Velizy-Villacoublay, France, set records with 1,037 assists and 9.78 assists per set. Price-Spraggins, from Chicago and a graduate of Whitney Young Magnet High School, hit a school-record .400 and became the first-ever XULA player to reach 200 kills, 30 aces and 75 blocks in the same season.
     
Black is the fifth Gold Nugget and first sophomore to earn first-team all-region, joining Kimberlee Rock (2004), Taylor Reuther (2013), Claudia Haywood (2015) and Juliana Tomasoni (2017).

Gold Nuggets hold on to defeat Lady Rams 60-57

Xavier University of Louisiana women's basketballNEW ORLEANS — Mikayla Bates's 3-pointer with two minutes remaining put Xavier University of Louisiana ahead to stay in a 60-57 women's basketball victory against Mobile.
     
The victory was the fourth in a row for the Gold Nuggets (9-3), who snapped the two-game win streak of the Lady Rams (3-5).
     
Bates's trey, her only points of the game, came from the left corner to make it 56-54. It was the seventh lead change of the quarter. Mobile twice cut its deficit to one point and missed a chance to regain the lead when Kelsey Pinera was called for traveling under her basket with three seconds remaining. XULA's Jas Hill followed with two free throws for the final margin.
     
Mobile's Kendra Langham missed a 3-pointer the buzzer.
     
Hill scored a game-high 18 points and reached double figures for the eighth time this season. Essence Wells scored 12 points, all in the second half, and had a career-high-tying two blocks and a season-high three steals. Da'Jha Virgil scored a career-high nine points, and Jayla Nichols had a season-high eight points.
     
Janae Strode scored a season-high-tying 17 points for Mobile, and Lauren Bodino scored nine.
     
"I was disappointed that we did not play with a lot of energy after a nice win Friday at Southeastern Louisiana," XULA coach Bo Browder said. "Our defense was good enough to win the game. Not a lot of energy, but we'll get better at that.
     
"Mobile," Browder added, "played extremely hard."

 BOX SCORE
     
Mobile outshot XULA 49 to 34.9 percent from the floor. The Gold Nuggets outrebounded the Lady Rams 36-30 — XULA's Nahrie Pierce grabbed a season-high seven — and was plus-4 in turnovers, committing 18 and gaining 22. Mobile blocked nine shot, five by Artasia McDowell, who also had a game-high nine rebounds.
     
"Essence Wells and Jayla Nichols played well for us off the bench," Browder said.
     
XULA defeated Mobile for the seventh straight time and the 15th time in the last 17 meetings. Mobile has lost 17 straight to the Gold Nuggets at XULA since its last victory in 1999.
     
It was the final game before semester exams for XULA, which will resume its schedule at 2 p.m. Dec. 15 at Louisiana-Lafayette.
