UNDER THE BANNER

WHAT'S GOING ON IN AND AROUND BLACK COLLEGE SPORTS

The nal countdown has begun for the 2011

black college football season.
All 53 football-playing teams are in their third
week of summer practice readying for the start of
play that counts. In just another week, on Thursday
August 25th, Langston will kick off the season with
a date at home vs. New Orleans. Three other games
are set for Saturday, August 27th.
The real lift off begins with an explosion of 31
games over the Labor Day weekend (Thursday, Sept
1 thru Sunday, Sept. 4).
Most of the 2010 champions Shaw in the
CIAA, Albany State in the SIAC, South Carolina
State co-champs in the MEAC and Texas Southern
in the SWAC suffered heavy losses to graduation
that will make repeating difcult.
The door is open for contenders like Morehouse
and Fort Valley State in the SIAC, Winston-Salem
State in the CIAA, Bethune-Cookman in the MEAC
and Alcorn State in the SWAC to move up and into
the championship spotlight.
Keep Your Eyes On
The two most dominant teams in 2010 were
SIAC champion Albany State (11-1), who nished
with a perfect 10-0 regular season mark, and MEAC
co-champ Bethune-Cookman (10-2), who fell to
Florida A&M (38-27, after leading 27-14 at the
half) in its nal regular season game preventing the
Wildcats from posting an 11-0 record.
The performance was expected by Albany
State, who along with Tuskegee has won or shared
the last 11 SIAC titles. But that was hardly the case
with Bethune-Cookman, picked by league head
coaches and this writer to nish near the bottom of

AIMING HIGH: Winston-Salem State head coach

Connell Maynor (l.) and Bethune-Cookman head
coach Brian Jenkins have set their sights on
conference and national titles.

last year's MEAC standings under new head coach

Brian Jenkins.
But the brash Jenkins took over from longtime
B-CU head coach Alvin Wyatt and boldly proclaimed
that the Wildcats would win right away. And that's
exactly what they did, ending South Carolina State's
21-game conference win streak and three-year domination of the MEAC.
Jenkins says unabashedly that his goal is not
just to win the MEAC title, but to win the Football
Championship Subdivision (FCS) national crown.
He's got Athletic Director Lynn Thompson fully
on board and is lining up the horses to do it. His
Florida-heavy roster is littered with standouts and
now includes last year's Mr. Football in the state,
quarterback Quentin Williams of Tampa.
Another brash young coach with designs on
titles beyond the conference level is Winston-Salem
State second-year head man Connell Maynor. Like
Jenkins, Maynor has boldly proclaimed that he's not
just looking for CIAA titles but wants to take the
Rams to the NCAA Div. II national title. And with
WSSU Athletic Director and legendary head coach

Bill Hayes rmly behind him, the talented Rams could

denitely be headed in that direction.
Albany State won the SIAC title but both Morehouse (a 13-12 loser to ASU) and Fort Valley State
(who lost 12-7 to ASU) were hot on its tail. This
could be the year that both move past the perennial
champs.
Coming off its rst-ever Div. II playoff appearance and returning a host of all-SIAC performers,
Morehouse under head coach Rich Freeman may
be considered the SIAC favorite. The Maroon Tigers
biggest hurdle may be getting past arch-nemesis
Tuskegee.
Anthony Pittman's Fort Valley State Wildcats
easily handled Tuskegee but faltered against ASU and
Morehouse. Pittman believes he's added a differencemaker to his already loaded squad in new quarterback
Antonio Henton.
And they don't come any brasher than new Alcorn
State head coach Melvin Spears. The Alcorn graduate
won a SWAC title in 2005 after he succeeded Doug
Williams as head coach at Grambling and bounced
around some before landing back at his alma mater.
After Prairie View A&M (45 years) and Texas
Southern (42 years) ended long SWAC title droughts
over the last two seasons, Spears gures its time to
return Alcorn to the championship circle. The Braves,
once powers in the conference under former head
coach Marino Casem, who Spears played for, have
not won or shared a SWAC title since 1994 (18 years).
With Alcorn and NFL legend, the late Steve McNair
at the helm, the Braves won the 1992 title outright
and shared the 1994 title with Grambling.
Spears has a McNair like quarterback in sophomore Brandon Bridge who he hopes can duplicate
some of McNair's gaudy stats en route to another
title.

C. J. REED HEADED TO UCF:

Former Bethune-Cookman guard and reigning MEAC

Basketball Player of the Year C. J.
Reed is transferring to the University
of Central Florida it was announced
last week.
Reed, who averaged an MEACbest 18.8 points per game while leading the Wildcats to a 21-13 overall
record and their rst ever MEAC
regular season title, received a reREED
lease from B-CU in early July after
the school abruptly dismissed his father, Clifford Reed,
as the Wildcats head coach on June 27. The younger Reed
reportedly visited UCF, North Florida and Tennessee State
before committing to join the Knights.
C. J., a senior, will redshirt during the 2011-12 season
and join UCF for the 2012-13 campaign.
"It had to be a good t for me and a good t for the
team," C. J. told the Daytona News-Journal in a phone
interview last week. "I didn't want to go somewhere that
played a style that I didn't want to play. They get up and
down the court. I think this was the best option for me and
the best t for me."
Reed, a crafty 6-3 lefthander, was the MEAC rookie of
the year as a freshman and earned rst team all-MEAC over
the past two seasons. As a freshman he played primarily as
a point guard but became more of a scorer over the last two
seasons.
