that wou|a f>ave given the Rams
The Spartans, who were only
5-5 a year ago, seemed equally
stunned that they had won.
"On their field goal attempt in
the final seconds, I turned my
back and, when the crowd
roared, 1 turned around and saw
the ball come down and hit the
upright," said Norfolk quarterVI/

great feeling."
For Bailey, the fateful bounce
was the fitting culmination of a
fairy-tale season.
"This is the-most fulfilling
championship I've ever had,"
said" Bailey, who coached
Virginia Union to the past three
conference titles before joining
his alma mater this year.
guys had to start from scratch
and just gave-a heroic effqrilHt ^
season.
"This is a day we have worked
hardsfor since the beginning of
practice in August," Bailey said.
~ "They didn't have any doubts
about what they wanted. They
never took their eyes off of the
prize."
Neither, apparently, did
Winston-Salem State. From the
outset, it was obvious that the
icams were eveniy-matcnea. l ne
Rams and Spartans are both
talented teams that share the
same offensive scheme as well as
coaching philosophy. The opening
quarter was a chess game with
Bailey and Ram mentor Hayes
feeling each other out.
Hayes got the upper hand early
when the Rams won the toss and
elected to kick. The ploy worked
as, two plays after kickoff, Norfolk's
Tony Johnson fumbled on
the Ram 25-yard line and WSSU
linebacker Mark Wallace pounced
on the ball.

chance to pWk up a first down on
the kick as Smith was roughed,
but Hayes, playing the percentages,
refused to take the points
off the board, leaving the score
3-0.
The Spartans came back to
take a 7-3 lead, the big play for
Norfolk a 57-yard run_ by
Johnson, who raced to the Ram
12. Though the WSSU defense
stiffened, a defensive holding
penalty gave the Spartans first
and goal at the 4 and Norfolk
eventually scored.
After the qijflr^fr^nrfrri i7-3,
the Rams came, back v<ith a
seven-plajgttiilfWwtfiltfceir ,
own that culminated in another
Smith field goal, closing the gap
to 7-6. The Rams used timely
passing by Winbush to tight end
Harry Giles for most of their yardage,
but failed to convert a third
and four at the Spartan 16.
On the next Norfolk scoring
drive, the supposedly strong-run,
no-pass Spartans surprised the
Rams by successfully taking to
the air: Gillus, subbing for the injured
Raynard Revels, made
good on several short tosses and
got an interference call on the
Ram secondary that moved the
ball from the Norfolk 48 to the
Ram 30.
"We knew that Winston-Salem
had a good run defense, so we
were prepared to throw against
them," said Gillus, who was
named the game's most valuable
player. "We used play-action
passes to get their defensive backs
to come up and then we were able
to get our receivers behind
them."

The Spartans didn't come
away with a touchdown, but
kicker Dale Browder did connect
on a record 43-yard field go to extend
Norfolk's lead to 10-6.
The Spartans took a commanding
17-6 lead with only 1:23 left
in the first half when Gillus connected
with wide receiver
Leonard Hopkins on a sevenyard
play-action pass. The Rams
looked flat and Norfolk was on a
?roll. ?
However, behind the leader
ship of Winbush, WSSU refused
to give in. Employing a twominute
offense, Winbush drove
the Rams to the Spartan 5. The
Rams came away empty-handed,

But they did gain confidence.
4'We really began to gain
momentum right before the
half," said Warren. "It was important
for us to move the ball
and we did. That helped us in the
second half."
Following intermission, the
Rams took control of the game,
moving the ball well on their first
possession and pinning the Spartans
on their own 3-yard line on
Vincent Jones' 35-yard, coffincorner
punt.
When Norfolk was forced to

Five plays later, Winbush hit
