McMillian-Gadsden Duo Leads Rams over Eagles
? Tandem combines for 10 catches and two touchdowns in 46-28 victory
By ED MEYERS
Special to the Chronicle
Winston-Salem State coach Kermit
Blount is liable to wind up with a case
of Stomach ulcers if he isn't careful.
Last Saturday night his Ram foot
ball team, averaging almost a point-a
4 minute for the past two games, defeated
visiting North Carolina Central, 46-28,
before an anemic crowd at Bowman
firay KtflHiiim i
As was the case in a 54-54 tie two
weeks ago in the annual homecoming
contest against Norfolk State, Blount's
charges let the game almost get out of
hand in the opening minutes. But the
defense settled down and the offense
took charge as the Rams continued
unbeaten in C1AA play with their third
win against a tie. &
The visiting Eagles grabbed a quick
7-0 lead before WSSU came back to
deadlock matters at 7-all on a 15-yard
pass from quarterback Rovell McMil
lian to Oronde Gadsden.
North Carolina Central took the
ensuing kickuff as Monte Southerland
went 87 yards to put the visitors up 14-7
just 12 seconds later.
The Eagles boosted their margin to
21-7 late in the first quarter before the
Ram offerfle, which finished with 530
total yards, came to life.
McMillian and Gadsden teamed up
with Gadsden catching 10 passes for
144 yards, including two of McMillian' s
three touchdown passes. The veteran
senior connected on 18 of 30 in the
game for 239 yards.
Richard Huntley, who also had a
big night with 229 yards on 26 carries,
scorfcd from three yards out as tne kams
made it 21-14 with 2:43 still to play in
the opening quarter.
Blount called Huntley "probably
the b?st running back in the CIAA," fol
lowing his second great week in a row.
Previously against Norfolk State, Hunt
ley carried the ball 45 times in a work!
Ijorse effort
"We fortunate to have guys like
McMillian," Blount said. "He made
some great plays." Included was a 44
yard gainer that Gadsden made a leap
ing catch of at the 18-yard line of the
Eagles to set up WSSU's go-ahead
touchdown.
Blount added that his team stayed

Freshman Gridiron Standout Handles Adjustment Well
A Whether suited up on varsity or junior varsity, Reynolds player raises cain
By SAMUEL G. PUR YEAR JR.
Special to the Chronicle
He began the season playing line
backer for the varsity football team.
Last Thursday he started at running
back and linebacker for the junior varsi
ty.
Reynolds High School freshman
standout Brandon Cain is handling the
perplexing acclimation period from
middle school to high school and
remaining optimistic.
"My first year playing for Reynolds
is going well," Cain said. "The varsity
level is harder. It isn't like Pop Warn
er."
Coach Dave McConnell agrees.
According to McConnell, Cain
stepped in to fill a void, but the future is
in Cain's hands.
"At the beginning of the season we
didn't have any linebackers," said
McConnell. "We are planning on Bran
don playing linebacker for us for the
next three years."
McConnell' s provident philosophy
has worked. Cain has plugged a previ
ously questionable lacuna at linebacker
and helped the Demons establish a (8-0,
3-0) record.
They are the only undefeated team
in the city.
Cain is only averaging five tackles
a contest, but he is complementing the
team in a variety of ways. He has also
returned a punt for a touchdown.
"Brandon possesses a lot of speed,
and he's an awfully gooi kid," said
McConnell. "He is dewnined and real
aggressive, and he will be a dominating
linebacker in a couple of years."
Although tackling the opposition
has been easy for Cain, gaining weight
has remained his biggest nemesis.
The team's coaches said they feel
that Cain, at 6'2" and only 180 pounds,
has been physically overwhelmed in
recent weeks. This led to their decision
of his playing with the junior varsity
last week.
"He is not physically ready, but he
does not back down from a challenge,"
said McConnell. "He is lifting weights
everyday and will still play in certain
situations."
Cain's contributions can only help
solidify a strong Demons football team.
But even after the completion of
the 1993 football season, Cain will be
expected to contribute.
On the hardwood court, Cain has
developed into one of the area's finest
young basketball talents.
For the past few summers, Cain has
helped bring respectability to a prosper
ing Winston Lake AAU team. After the
conclusion of the Lakers' summer AAU
season in 1993, the Raleigh Garner
AAU team picked him up and flew him
to Washington state to play with their
team. In the national tournament he
averaged 15 points per game.
Many coaches think that Cain's
future on the court is bright.
Coach Howard West of Reynolds
agrees.
"I think Brandon has a good future.
