The start of the game was
delayed by an hour by rain. It
was Livingstone's second loss
against a pair of wins.
Livingstone jumped ahead
by 6-0 with a touchdown on its
second possession of the
football. Running back John
Lucas of Trinity, N.C. raced
over from the nine. The try for
two extra points failed.
The Bears stretched their
lead to 9-0 in the third period
on a 28-yard field goal by
Andrew Cooney.
But then the tide turned in
favor of the Trojans, and John
Marshall, a former Salisbury
High player, helped his dad's
team get rolling toward the
victory. John D. Marshall,
former Livingstone coach, is
coach at Virginia State.
Marshall, a flanker, snared
a 14-yard pass from quarterback
Marshall Banks for the
first Virginia State touchdown
