Update
It’s Winston-Salem again
HAMPTON, VA
Winston-Salem is a good basketball
town. When you add the Central Inter
collegiate Athletic Conference into the
mix you get an excited basketball town.
With that in mind, the CIAA Board of
Directors voted to award the city with the
tournament through the 1997-99 season.
Winston-Salem is the current home of
the tournament, haveing hosted it since
1994.
The CIAA basketball tournament an
nually attracts in excess of twenty thou
sand fans to the host city for a week of
men’s and women’s basketball and relat
edtournament and alumni activities. The
secure the
victory
26-20 in
what
could be
called a
mild up-
set over the Alabama A&M Bull
dogs.
The Bears clawed their way to a
20-7 lead before allowing the Bull
dogsto get back in the game early in
the fourth period on a 1-yard run by
Rodrigo Buchanan to get within,
20-13. With' 121 left in
regulation,David Jones connected
ona2o-yard TD passto Tracy Corley
to force the overtime.
The big guns on defense for the
Bulldogs were Marcus Worthy and
Rory French. Worthy recorded 15
tackles (six solos) while French
earned 10 tackles.
Final weeks will
determine
Heritage Bowl bid
NEW ORLEANS
An unusual scenario could take
place as the 1995 football season
heads into its final weeks.
Jackson State University, the
surprise team in the Southwestern
Athletic Conference, catapulted to
the top of the league standings af
ter registering a huge 16-14 victory
over previously undefeated South
ern University on Oct. 14. The JSU
Tigers still lead the SWAC with an
unblemished 5-0 mark and an im
pressive 7-2 record overall.
The unusual scenario could take
place — should JSU and Southern,
whichisß-loveralland4-lin SWAC
play — win their remaining games.
Should that happen, the Jaguars
would likely emerge the mythical
black college national champions
but the Tigers would win the con
ference championship. Both teams
are favorites in their final contests.
Besides jockeying for the confer
ence title, both JSU and SU are in
contention for the SWAC’s berth in
the Jim Walter Homes Heritage
Bowl, which is slated for 1 p.m. on
Dec. 29 at the Georgia Dome in
Atlanta. Should both teams win
their remaining games, JSU would
