S.C. State continues to dominate
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Apologies everyone for the delay in updating the blog.
As you can probably imagine, it has been an interesting week in this world that we live in. We have witnessed a historic event, an event that supercedes any and everything that has taken place this week in Black College sports.
Back on the field, South Carolina State continued its winning ways Thursday night by giving Howard the beatdown in a 56-0 shutout. How bad was the beating? The Bulldogs led 42-0 at halftime and cruised the rest of the way.
Sheridan Black College Poll: Tuskegee continues to hold the top spot followed by S.C. State in this week’s poll. Here’s the entire poll:
Team/Record
Tuskegee/9-0
South Carolina State/8-2 (including Thursday’s game)
Grambling State/7-2
Prairie View/7-1
Bethune-Cookman/6-2
Tennessee State/7-2
Southern/5-4
Shaw/7-3
Morgan State/6-3
Florida A&M/6-3
Best of the CIAA: The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) will honor its all-conference teams and its players of the year today in Durham, N.C. (See the all-conference team here). Saturday, the conference championship game will match Eastern Division champ Elizabeth City State against Western Champ Shaw.
Big weekend in the SWAC: Alabama A&M, tied with Jackson State atop the Eastern Division, faces Prairie View in a key interdivisional game. Jackson State plays at Alabama State and will host Alabama A&M next week in a game that will likely decide the Eastern title. In the West, Grambling’s on top and faces 1-8 Arkansas-Pine Bluff this weekend.
