After routing St. Paul’s Rams face Spartans in CIAA championship By SAM DAVIS Chronicle Sports Editor Mike Winbush’s 40-yard touchdown strike to Masha Paul on the Rams’ first offensive play of the game provided all the points Winston-Salem State needed against St. Paul’s last Saturday - though 45 more were to follow. The Rams, tuning up for their matchup with once-beaten Norfolk State Saturday in the CIAA championship game, scored on each of their first three possessions to take a 21-0 lead in the opening period enroute to a 51-0 shellacking of the Tigers, who played like pussycats during the season they were expected to claw into Northern Division con tention. “It was very important for us to play a complete game against St. Paul’s. We tried to keep our consistency going so that we’d be peaking for the championship game. ’’ - Bill Hayes Coach Bill Hayes was able to clear his bench and give his reserves considerable playing time as he has for most of the second half of the season. The Rams’ workman-like effort brought a smile from Hayes, who said keeping the players motivated for their final game was important considering his team had already clinched the Southern Division title. Now come Willard Bailey’s Spartans, who unseated ■ Virginia Union for Northern Division honors this year and expect to host WSSU in a stadium full of Norfolk State partisans Saturday afternoon. The Rams piled up 576 impressive yards of total offense against St. Paul’s, proving that, after 10 games, they’re hitting on all cylinders. “1 wanted a 9-1 record going into the champion ship game,” says Hayes, “It was very important for Black College Sports By BARRY COOPER Syndicated Columnist Back during the summer, when Mississippi Valley Coach Archie “The Gunslinger” Cooley realized his team had only 10 football games scheduled, he quickly reached out to AT&T and called virtually every Division I-AA football team in the South. There were no takers. Smart guys, those coaches. It turns out that Mississippi Valley may have one of the best small-college teams in the country. Or at least the most exciting. In two games, Cooley’s men have outscored the opposition by a staggering 163-15. The first victim was lowly Kentucky State, which the Delta Devils walked over by an 86-0 count. Next was NAIA member Washburn (Kan.), which fell 77-15. Powerful Jackson State was next in line, and Valley won again. Even after its loss to Alcorn State Nov. 4, Valley is the team to watch this year. Valley may have also become the team to hate, too. After watching Valley wallop his team, Washburn Coach George Tardiff had this to say: They tried to run the score up on us. I told their Please see page B4 Prep Spotlight Winston-Salem State tight end Cornelius Holmes makes a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch against St, Paul’s defenders Garvin Majette and Marvin Brown (28).

We tried to keep our consistency going so that we’d be peaking for the championship game.” The matchup between the Rams and Spartans looks to be a classic confrontation between offense and defense. The Rams, the leading rushing team in the CIAA this year, go head-on against the con ference’s stingiest defense. Will ‘Gunslinger’ leave Miss. Valley?

Carter’s run was nullified by a penalty, but his team defeated the Demons 20-6 (photo by James Parker). The game also pits without question the top two coaches in the CIAA against one another. Bill Hayes of Winston-Salem State and Bailey, the first- year man at Norfolk, are two of the finest in ail of Division 11 football. “I won’t have to worry about getting my kids up to play this weekend,” says Hayes. “I think we’re Please see page B2^ Shaw picked to win in CIAA South By SAM DAVIS Chronicle Sports Editor Resurgent Shaw is the pre-season pick to win the CIAA Southern Division basketball title this season. The Bears, coached by Warren Reynolds, return four starters and have added a 6-9 pivot man to solidify their inside game. After a not-so-impressive tenure thus far at Shaw, including a dismal 0-39 record through his first two years at the helm, Reynolds said he s final ly got all the ingredients to make a run at the title during his fifth season. “I’m very impressed with the way we’ve looked in practice,” said Reynolds at the CIAA Southern Division Basketball Roundup last Thursday at Winston-Salem State. “We’ve only had three weeks of practice, but we’re further along than we would normally be.” The Bears open their season Saturday against Allen University during Shaw’s homecoming festivities and Reynolds said he expects his team to be ready to play. “We have a strong nucleus coming back,” Reynolds said. “In Dave Lacy and Andre Shepard, we have two of the best guards I’ve had since I came here. As a pair, they are the best guards in the Diessc soa page B2 Eagles beat Reynolds 14-2 in season finale By SAM DAVIS Chronicle Sports Editor Dedric Barber tossed a 31-yard touchdown pass to Dedrick Keaton and scored another touchdown himself to lead East Forsyth to a 14-2 win over Reynolds last Friday night at Bowman Gray Stadium. Barber, a senior playing in his final game for East, led the Eagles to two consecutive scoring drives after the teams exchanged fumbles on the first two posses sions of the game. The Eagles’ offense controlled the ball for much of the first half which, according to East Coach Perry Pearson, was the key to the win. “In the first half, we had one of our best offensive games of the season,” said Pearson after the win. “We took advantage of some of the things they were giv ing us.” On several third-down situa- “We knew that we had to hit the short passes.
