Championship time in SIAC, CIAA

LUT WILLIAMS Football champions will be crowned in the CIAA and SIAC as the conferences stage their annual title games in Durham, N. C. and Atlanta Saturday and teams will nd out afterwards who will advance to further postseason play as the 24-team NCAA eld is announced Sunday. At 1 p. m. at Durham County Stadium Saturday, defending conference and South Division champion Winston-Salem State (10-0, 7-0) puts its undefeated record, high national and regional rankings on the line against repeat North Division champ Elizabeth City State (7-3, 6-1) in the 28th CIAA Championship Game. The same two teams met in last year's title game won by WSSU, 38-18. And later Saturday, at 8 p. m. at Atlanta's Lakewood Stadium, West Division champ Tuskegee (8-1, 7-0) will face East Division titleist Fort Valley State (8-2, 6-1) in the second SIAC Championship Game. Their title tilt is a re-match of a September 29 game this season won by Tuskegee, 49-18. CIAA WSSU and head coach Connell Maynor come into Saturday's title game assured of a spot in the Div. II playoff eld. The Rams, who made a run to the national seminals a year ago, are currently ranked second in the AFCA NCAA Div. II national poll and second in Super Region I to 10-0 Shippensburg, who is the seventh in the AFCA poll. The top six teams in the region will receive bids to the playoffs. The Rams have been dominant, particularly in conference play, outscoring league opponents by a 5013 margin. Senior quarterback Kam Smith (170-281, 9) has thrown for 2,710 yards and 37 TDs, primarily to a trio of receivers (Jahuaan Butler, Jamal Williams and Jameze Massey) known as "The Outlaws," who have accounted for 117 receptions, 2,202 yards and 30 TDs between them. The Rams are scoring 46.3 points per game overall, tops in the CIAA and fourth in the nation, while surrendering 15.8 ppg., also tops in the league. The Rams rush for 185.2 yards per game and allow just 82.1 rushing yards per game, again both tops in the league. The Ram defense is led by linebackers Carlos Fields (69 tackles) and Daniel Mungin (4.5 sacks). ECSU counters with senior running back Daronte' McNeill who is the league-leader with 1,145 rushing yards, averaging 4.1 yards per carry and 114.5 yards

UNDER THE BANNER

WHAT'S GOING ON IN AND AROUND BLACK COLLEGE SPORTS

COACHING ICON JOE TAYLOR TO RETIRE:

Florida A&M head coach Joe Taylor, who has carved a legendary career as a head coach and mentor to countless players and coaches, told his team Saturday he will retire at the end of the season. The sudden announcement to his team came before Saturday's game on the road at North Carolina A&T. "Last Christmas my wife and I decided that, after 40 years, this would be it," Taylor said on Tuesday's MEAC Football Teleconference. "We didn't want to announce it too early because I don't want a whole lot of fanfare." With 233 wins, Taylor currently stands 31st all-time in coaching victories, is ninth among active college coaches and tied with legendary Southern University head coach Ace Mumford for fourth all-time among black college coaches. Taylor's career record is 233-95 (.710) with his longest stint at Hampton (1992-2007) where he compiled a 136-49-1 mark. In head coaching stints at Howard, Virginia Union, Hampton and FAMU, Taylor has won four black college national titles, ten conference titles and made 12 postseason appearances. He also in 2001 served as only the third black college coach, after Grambling legend Eddie Robinson (1976) and Florida A&M's Billy Joe (1995), as president of the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). Taylor, 62, who abruptly left Hampton ve years ago to take over at Florida A&M, has compiled a 35-18 record during his stay in Tallahassee. The Rattlers are 3-6 this season with two games left this Saturday at home vs. North Carolina Central and the season nale Nov. 17 in the Florida Classic in Orlando against rival Bethune-Cookman.. Taylor said Tuesday that he has several offers on the table but will spend the next year promoting a book he has written entitled "Winning Is An Inconvenience." The book is scheduled to be released on Thanksgiving Day with the rst book signing scheduled for Hampton. FAMU Athletic director Derek Horne said he was surprised by the decision. "I've learned a lot from him," Horne said. "He has made an impact on a number of lives. He's thought about his decision, and we're going to celebrate what he's done; he's done a great job for young men and college athletics."

per game. ECSU quarterback Namon Jones (161-270-6) has completed 59.6% of his passes for 1,971 yards and 8 TDs. Linebacker Brad Davis, leads the Vikings with 11.5 sacks, while defensive back Nigel Rios (67 stops) is the top tackler. The Vikings are currently not ranked in the top ten in Super Region I and are unlikely to get a bid to the playoffs even if they upset WSSU. ECSU head coach Waverly Tillar, who sits on the Super Region I Selection Committee, said as much Tuesday during the league's teleconference. SIAC Tuskegee comes into Saturday's SIAC Championship Game as a heavy favorite based on its sound whipping of FVSU early in the season. In that game, Tuskegee tailback Derrick Washington ran 17 times for 222 yards and two touchdowns. Washington, a Missouri transfer and former Big 12 all-conference performer, has been the most dominant player in the league this season averaging 7.5 yards per carry while running for 1,175 yards and 11 TDs, He ran for 208 yards on 22 carries in the Golden Tigers' 27-17 win over Miles Saturday that clinched the division title and championship game berth. Tuskegee quarterback Justin Nared scored on two short runs to nish off long drives and threw two scoring passes in the win over Miles. Head coach Willie Slater and the Golden Tigers are not eligible for the playoffs because of their traditional Thanksgiving Day battle with Alabama State. Fort Valley State has an outside chance at the playoffs if they can upset Tuskegee. The Wildcats, under fourth-year coach Donald Pittman, are ranked fth in the Super Region II entering Saturday's contest. A loss would likely see them fall out of the top six and lose out on a playoff berth. Miles (8-2, 6-1), whose loss to Tuskegee Saturday knocked them from the top spot in the region, is now second and appears a good bet to grab one of the six playoff bids. FVSU and head coach Donald Pittman came thru with a big 38-12 win over Albany State Saturday to clinch the East Division title. The Wildcats, behind the play of quarterback Antonio Henton (16-37-0, 236 yards, 3 TDs) jumped out to

a 26-6 halftime lead and were never headed. The FVSU defense shut down Albany State, picking off four passes and recovering two fumbles. Henton will look for his favorite target, senior wideout Chris Slaughter, who had ve receptions for 115 yards Saturday and leads the SIAC with 93.3 receiving yards per game and 8 TDs. CIAA Bethune-Cookman (7-2, 6-0) can clinch its second regular season MEAC title and automatic bid to the FCS playoffs in head coach Brian Jenkins's three years with a win Saturday (5 p.m.) at Savannah State (1-8, 0-6). SWAC Arkansas-Pine Bluff (7-2, 6-1 SWAC W) clinched the West Division title and spot in the Dec. 8 SWAC Championship Game with its win Saturday over Texas Southern. Jackson State (5-4, 5-2), Alabama A&M (7-2, 6-2) and Alabama State (6-3, 6-2) are all still alive for the East title. JSU hosts A&M Saturday (4 p.m.) while Southern hosts 'Bama State (6 p.m.). A&M and ASU nish up their SWAC schedule this week while JSU has a date next week with Alcorn State. If JSU wins both its games, it takes home the division title and title game spot. 'Bama State wins the division with a win Saturday and JSU loss. A&M needs a win Saturday and an ASU loss.
