Shaw University is an institution of firsts. Estey Hall was the first building erected to house and educate African American women. Its former Leonard School of Medicine was the first four -year medical school to train black doctors and pharmacists in the South. Today, the primary mission of Shaw University is teaching with a commitment to maintaining excellence in research and academic programs that foster intellectual enhancement and technological skills. Two colleges, one school, and ten departments employ 120 faculty members to serve approximately 2,500 students by providing a variety of academic offerings that are geared toward today’s employment market. The University offers 30 undergraduate majors and is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the Associate, Bachelor's and Master's degrees. Four of its academic programs also have national accreditation. The Shaw Divinity School is one of only a handful of divinity schools in the state of North Carolina to earn full accreditation from the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) in the United States.

Smith University and was the first female elected to hold that post. In keeping with this standard, Dr. Yancy will now become the first woman to serve as President of the prestigious Shaw University.

Interim Athletic Director Marcus Clarke

As the 2009-10 academic year approached, Marcus Clarke was preparing to begin his second year as Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance at Shaw University. But things change, and his title and duties changed drastically as he was named Interim Athletic Director. “It certainly was a bit of a surprise, and it was definitely a challenge, but everyone came together and, all in all, this first year was a success,” said Clarke. In his first year, the Bears brought home both the men’s and women’s CIAA Tennis trophies, and dozens of Bears were named all conference in their various sports. Even more satisfying to Clarke, though, was the performance of numerous Bears in the classroom. Thirty-five Bears earned spots on the 2009-2010 All-Academic Team. The men’s tennis team captured the trophy for the highest GPA among tennis teams in the CIAA. And the academic year ended with the announcement of the CIAA Commissioner’s Team which recognizes the highest performers in the classroom and on the playing field. Nominees had to have a 3.5 GPA and been a star on their teams. Three Shaw athletes - Lolia Kienka, Milos Stankovic, and Kalada Kienka - were named to the Commissioner’s first team. “We took three of ten spots on the Commissioner’s first team, and those athletes were selected from 11 conference schools and 16 sports,” Clarke said. “I think that says a great deal about our programs.”

ance in 2002, and has overseen that area since. He will continue those duties as he assumes the additional responsibilities of the head of the Department of Athletics. But wearing multiple hats is nothing new for Clarke. A 1990 graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, Clarke began his career in athletics in 1992 as Head Athletic Trainer at Virginia Union. While still serving as Head Athletic Trainer, Clarke was named Head Track and Field and Cross Country coach at Virginia Union in 1996. And in 2001, while still holding those titles, he was named Virginia Union’s Compliance Coordinator. The many hats have led to a number of high points. In 2001, he was recognized as the CIAA Women’s Track Coach of the Year. In 1996, he served as the athletic trainer for the British Virgin Islands Olympic team. The team had only a handful of athletes in two sports track and field and sailing. Clarke dealt only with the track athletes. As a compliance director and athletic trainer, he has been part of 20 CIAA championship teams. “I’ve been fortunate,” Clarke said. “I’ve had the chance to do a number of things, and I’ve been fortunate enough to be part of a lot of successful teams and programs.” Clarke also currently serves as the President of the CIAA Compliance Director's Association. Prior to going to college, Clarke served three years in the U.S. Army. When not working, Clarke enjoys researching his family’s genealogy, hiking, and spending time with his family: wife Sabrina, daughter Marissa (age 13), and son Maurice (age 9).

2010 Season Preview - More Than Just Winning

Rather boldly, Shaw head coach Darrell Asberry predicted his Bears would win the 2009 CIAA Championship. While that didn’t happen, his prediction for this year is no less brash. “We’re going to win two more games than last year,” he said. Definitely brash - the Bears were 8-2 last season. To take the 2010 version of the squad, Asberry and his staff will have to overcome not only the loss of some key components on the field, but also the memory of the game – and thus the slot in the championship game – that they let get away. In 2009, the Bears came within a bad snap of taking the Western Division. Leading Fayetteville State 2827 late in the fourth quarter, a snap sailed over the Shaw punter’s head for a Bronco safety. The Bears finished the season one game behind FSU for the division title and the slot in the title game. “Fayetteville State is a thorn in my side,” Asberry said. “I haven’t won on their field. We handle them here, but I haven’t had the break through there.” This year the Bears host the Broncos – one of only few bright spots on a tough – and road-based –

schedule. The Bears play six of their ten games on the road – including a five-game road trip that comes after a lone home game at the beginning of the season. Those five away games include tests against a strong Catawba team, as well as NCAA Division I-FCS foe Elon. “That’s a big game for us,” Asberry said of the match against Elon. “If we can keep that close and steal a win it would be huge and certainly let this team know how special they can be.” Offense: In order to meet those goals, the Bears will rely on a powerful offense that returns all but three starters from a squad that led the CIAA in both scoring offense and total offense. Leading the offense will be 2009 All-CIAA and 2010 Preseason All-American running back Raymond Williams. Williams finished the 2009 campaign with 811 yards in nine games – second in the CIAA- and scored 78 points to lead the conference. He will rush behind a staunch offensive line that returns all five starters, including All-CIAA tackle Edawn Coughman, and second team All-CIAA and 2010 Preseason All-American Markus McElveen. With the return of the Bears second leading receiver, and a strong corps of reserves, the only question on the Shaw offense is the man under center. Asberry intends to hand the ball to Kevin Atkins, a transfer from Alabama A&M who accumulated over 3,000 passing yards over two seasons. “He carries himself like a quarterback is supposed to carry himself. He should be able to do things in game one that others wouldn’t master until later in the season,” Asberry said. Atkins will run an offense that is noted for throwing the ball downfield. Asberry’s offense – which has been dubbed the “Magnolia spread,” relies on the quarterback and receivers taking the ball vertically while Williams and the rushers are given the chance to break open long runs as a result.

Raymond Williams is expected to add to his already recordsetting career numbers in 2010..

“People want to see the ball go vertical. They don’t want to see the grinding ground game. We’re going back to our roots this season,” Asberry said. “Our

2010 Shaw University Football

Defense: The bigger challenge will likely come on defense, where the Bears have lost five starters, including All-American cornerback Quintez Smith and second team All-CIAA performers Isaiah Thomas and James Duplessis. Last season, the Bears led the nation in pass efficiency defense and tackles for a loss. Leading the returning Bear defensive players is Fred Sparkman at linebacker. The All-CIAA selection led the Bears with 63 tackles last year. Second team AllCIAA selection DeMarcus Roberson is expected to anchor the defensive line. Roberson had 48 tackles last season, including a team leading 13.5 tackles for a loss and 5.5 sacks. Special Teams: The Bears return two place kickers one a long-distance specialist and another who handles shorter field goals and extra points. Caleb Reid opened the 2009 season 33 for 33 in point after attempts, finally finishing 45 for 52 on the year. He was five for seven on field goal attempts. Lyncon Shepherd, who specializes in longrange field goals, also finished the season five for seven on three-point tries. Meeting their goal of “winning two more than last year,” and taking the CIAA championship will call for

big focus is going to be getting first downs when we need them. We didn’t do that in our two losses (last season) and that will change this year.”

renewed dedication and a higher level of effort than the Bears have shown in the last two seasons. “It starts with me,” Asberry said. “I could have been better prepared. I’m going back to the old me. We’re going to practice as though we’re in a game. You win a couple of championships, you think you don’t have to work as hard. No one is going to say we could have done more this season. And it starts with me.” More Than Just Winning: As always, Asberry expects more than wins from the young men on his squad - he also expects them to succeed in the classroom. Asberry is particularly proud of the young men who have taken advantage of the second chance the program has given them. A number of players on the Bears squad came to Shaw after facing difficulties personally or academically. “These are young men, and young people can be stupid - can make mistakes, but you have to give them a second chance,” Asberry said. “We’ve graduated our transfers - our ‘second-chance’ guys. We need to let people know what we’ve done here.”

2010 - A High-Flying Season With A Disappointing Conclusion

When the 2009 season started for the Bears, there were high expectations and even higher goals for the team. But no one foresaw what was - at times - both a magical and heartbreaking campaign. The season got off to a strong start with a record-breaking performance against ECSU. Quintez Smith tied the Division II single game record with three interceptions returned for touchdowns, and broke the record for interception return yards in a single game. The team tied the record with a fourth pick-six in the game as well. With the 68-6 trouncing of Lincoln (PA) in week four, the Bears had not only tied the school record for most points in a game, but had upped their average margin of victory to that point at a staggering 27 points per game. After four games, no one would have doubted the Bears’ ability to three-peat as CIAA Champions. After all, they led the nation in interceptions, turnover margin and had both the punter and place kicker that were sitting atop the Division II rankings. The Bears had not allowed a team to score on them in the third quarter all season (and wouldn’t until game six against Saint Augustine’s), and led the CIAA in most offensive and defensive categories. Entering week five and the Prince Georges’ Classic against Bowie State, the Bears rightly felt that 2009 could be the season for another run at the CIAA title and a chance for the NCAA playoffs. In Bowie, the Bears were met by a determined Bulldog squad, ready to challenge the Bears and show their own dominance in the CIAA.

The Fayetteville State game had been circled on the calendar since the beginning of the season and was the last true test on the Bears’ calendar. Unfortunately for Shaw’s title hopes, the squad that played in Fayetteville did not resemble the team that had built a 5-1 record to that point. The team that led the nation in turnover margin coughed up the ball five times, while failing to take the ball away once from the Broncos. And the punting team which had been near the top of D-II all season long, managed only 23 yards per attempt, and muffed two snaps, leading to a safety in the closing minutes of the game that gave FSU the 29-28 win. The road to the playoff no longer was in Shaw’s control. Because of the head-to-head tiebreaker, FSU would have to lose two games for Shaw to have a chance. Easy wins over Chowan, Livingstone, and Johnson C. Smith added to the stat sheets and gave the Bears their best record under Coach Darrell Asberry, but the 29-28 loss to FSU meant the Bears were home for the CIAA Championship, the NCAA Playoffs and even the Pioneer Bowl. For a team that had all the right moves for all but a few minutes all season, the highlights were bittersweet, but were many. Pacifico finished the season sixth in the nation in punting, and Smith tied the D-II record with four pick sixes on the season and led the nation in interceptions. The team ranked among the top in the CIAA in almost every statistical category. The Bears played a strong season with what they felt were disappointing results in the end, but the groundwork both on the field and emotionally - have been laid for a strong 2010 campaign.

In a torrential rain that gave the playing field the consistency of chocolate pudding, the Shaw kicking game - all but perfect until that point in 2009 - missed three field goals in the fourth quarter, sending the game into overtime and the Bears to a heartbreaking double overtime defeat. But even that loss did not dampen the mood greatly. The Bears still led Division II in many categories, Vincent Pacifico still topped the punting lists, and Caleb Reid had yet to miss a point after attempt. Plus, the shot at the CIAA Championship game still rested in their hands. While cross-town rival Saint Augustine’s jumped to a quick 17-3 lead in their week six meeting, the Bears fought back in the second half. While the Falcons became the first team to score on the Bears in the third quarter all season (with a touchdown pass with less than two minutes remaining in the period), the Bears scored 19 of their own in the quarter and sailed to a 42-32 win.

Opposing teams saw cornerback Quintez Smith with the ball a great deal in 2009. Against JCSU, he gets a lead blocker in Gerald Kennedy.

“Given the variables you’ve got going into a first game, I thought everyone did extremely well,” said Shaw Head Coach Darrell Asberry. “We still have some work to do, though. Offensively, we have to move more quickly.” The Shaw offense got off to a slow start – failing to get a single first down in the first quarter. But Smith’s first interception return for a touchdown tied the game at seven, countering Reggie Smith’s 68-yard punt return for ECSU. The two teams exchanged field goals, then the Vikings’ Cedric Blacknall topped off a 71-yard drive with a sixyard touchdown rush to give Elizabeth City State a 17-10 lead. On the following kickoff, Raymond Williams (So., Cleveland, OH) returned the ball 88 yards for a touchdown, tying the game at 17. With 30 seconds left in the first half, the Shaw offense got on the scoreboard with Julius Gregory (Jr., Portsmouth, VA) pulling in a Brandon Landers’ (Sr., Monroe, LA) pass for a 53-yard touchdown to tie the game at 24. Landers, a transfer from Grambling, came into the game in the second quarter, replacing starter Travis Robinson (Jr., Rockingham, NC). Robinson returned in the third quarter, with Landers back in the fourth. “We’ve done this in the past,” Asberry said of the rotating quarterbacks. “It worked then, so I see no reason to change. This is what you’re going to see the entire year.”

Game-By-Game Review - Shaw 54 ECSU 30

(Raleigh, NC) –Quintez Smith (Sr., Dublin, GA) tied an NCAA record by pulling in three interceptions, and returning them all for interceptions to help lead the Bears to a 54-30 win over Elizabeth City State University. The team also tied an NCAA with four interceptions returned for a touchdown when Micquel Johnson added another pick six late in the fourth quarter.

After a high scoring first half, both teams fell silent in the third, with no points scored. The two teams exchanged scores to begin the fourth quarter. With 8:05 left in the game, Smith pulled in his second interception of the evening; returning it for 70 yards, and giving Shaw a 37-30 lead. The rest of the game belonged to Shaw. A 48-yard Lyncon Shepherd (So., Mobile, AL) field goal, followed by interception returns by both Smith and Johnson led to the 54-30 final. Williams led the Bears with 57 yards rushing. Robinson finished the game one for nine for nine yards, while Landers was five for 11 for 161 yards. De’Andre Okonji (Sr., Upland, CA) had four receptions for 94 yards, leaving him four receptions short of tying the Shaw career receptions record.

Game-By-Game Review - Shaw 20 Bethune-Cookman 6

(Daytona Beach, FL) – On a sloppy field that slowed both offenses, Shaw University’s defense took over the game, recovering six fumbles and helping the NCAA Division II Bears beat home standing Bethune-Cookman of the Division I -FCS, 20-6. “It was a big test for us, and the weather certainly played to their strength with their running game,” said Shaw Head Coach Darrell Asberry. He continued, “I’m really proud of the way the defense went after them, and of how the offense kept its head and managed the ball.” The game started 25 minutes late because of a powerful storm that ripped through the area just before game time, leaving the field a quagmire, and making playing conditions difficult for both teams. Neither team managed to reach 300 yards on offense. The Wildcats, though, seemed to find their legs with their rushing game, with 248 yards, but six of their drives ended with lost fumbles, which directly led to 13 of the Bears’ 20 points. The very first drive had a hint of what was to come when a long snap sailed over quarterback Travis Robinson’s head. He managed to fall on the ball, keeping possession for the Bears. But it was only the first of many balls to wind up loose in the muddy field. Only three plays later, BCU suffered their first fumble when James Duplessis knocked the ball out of Antonio Cox’s hands after a successful pass. On the very next play, Robinson hit Jayson Royal for a 60-yard touchdown pass. From there, it became a ground-control game, as well as a challenge to see which team could hold onto the ball better. The beginning of the third quarter epitomized the game. BCU started their opening drive on the Shaw 43. After seven plays, the Wildcats had only gone nine yards and were facing fourth and 13. They went for it, and Matthew Johnson’s pass was intercepted by Gerald Kennedy. Two plays and three yards later, Robinson was picked off by Joe Morris. Two plays later, Brian Sumlar’s fumble was recovered by Isaiah Thomas. The Bears then managed a six-play 49-yard drive that ended with a 49-yard Vinny Pacifico punt. One play later, Callahan Bright recovered an Androse Bell fumble. Nearly ten minutes gone in the quarter and four of five drives ended with turnovers. The only score in the third was a 23-yard Caleb Reid field goal with just under three minutes to go in the quarter. Shaw’s only other touchdown came on a Raymond Williams 16-yard rush in the second quarter. Lyncon Shepherd’s 46-yard field goal rounded out the Shaw scoring. The Shaw defense held the Wildcats scoreless until the fourth quarter, when Sumlar rushed for 12 yards; the extra point failed.

2010 Shaw University Football

Shaw (3-0) suffered four fumbles and one interception while otherwise finding their legs on offense, breaking the 400-yard mark for the first time this season. The Shaw defense held Concordia (1-2) to 251 yards on offense, but allowed the Hornets to score twice in the fourth, making the game much closer that most had expected. “We underestimated them,” said Darrell Asberry. “Concordia’s a good team. They deserved to win the game. You don’t win with five turnovers. We have a lot of work to do before we think about winning championships.” The five turnovers - three in Concordia territory - consisted of four fumbles and an interception. Asberry continued, “We found a way to win despite the turnovers. That’s the only good thing you can say. We go back to work on Sunday. This wasn’t the Shaw Bears.” Shaw got an early wakeup call less than three minutes into the game when T’Chelpio Woods connected with Morris Benton for a 32-yard touchdown strike. The Bears then mounted a sustained drive, ending in an eight-yard touchdown pass from Travis Robinson to Alberto Johnson. Caleb Reid’s PAT tied the game. Shaw built the lead to 21-7 by the beginning of the fourth quarter, on the back of a 57-yard Williams rush and an Aaron Ellison, Jr. five-yard touchdown run – putting each of them one off the Shaw career record. Concordia opened the fourth quarter quickly, scoring only six seconds into the period when Woods and Morris connected for a 19-yard touchdown strike. Shaw stretched the lead back to 14 on a 24yard Williams rush, but saw that lead cut back to eight when Woods completed a 24yard pass to Jeffrey Ward, but the extra point was blocked.

Game-By-Game Review - Shaw 28 Concordia 20

(Raleigh, NC) –Raymond Williams scored two rushing touchdowns, tying the Shaw career record, and the Shaw defense made a critical stop on the Shaw seven yard line to hold on to a 28-20 win over Concordia College of Selma, AL.

The Bears then went three-and-out, but still managed to kill over two minutes on the clock. Vincent Pacifico’s punt of 55 yards was downed at the two, leaving the Hornets a 98-yard drive and two-point conversion away from the tie, with over three minutes to go. The drive went to the Shaw ten-yard line, but two of the three first downs came as a result of penalties against the Bears rather than the strength of the Hornet offense. On the last drive, Woods went two for ten, including three incomplete passes with the team at the Shaw seven-yard line. Williams was not the only tying career marks on the night. De’Andre Okonji tied the Shaw career record for receptions with a 25-yard pass from Robinson in the third quarter. Ellison is only one rushing touchdown from tying Williams for the career record.

Game-By-Game Review - Shaw 68 Lincoln (PA) 6

(West Grove, PA) – Aaron Ellison, Jr. and Raymond Williams each tied the Shaw single-game record by rushing for three touchdowns to help lead Shaw easily past Lincoln (PA) 68-6. Shaw also scored a safety, a fumble recovery in the end zone, an interception returned for a touchdown, a field goal, and a passing touchdown. The game was truly a tale of two halves. In the first, Shaw (4-0, 1-0 CIAA) outscored Lincoln (2-2, 0-1 CIAA) only 19-6, was penalized for 100 yards and committed two turnovers. In the second, Shaw held the Lions scoreless, scored 49 points, committed no turnovers and had only 56 yards in penalties. Coach Darrell Asberry said the message at half time was pretty basic. “I told them if they didn’t pull it together, we would have a practice when we got off the bus in Raleigh. We just have to keep focusing on this. We cannot continue to turn the ball over and commit penalties like that and expect to be a championship team.” Even with their two fumbles, the Bears continued to dominate in turnover margin. The Shaw defense picked off three passes and forced five fumbles to give the Bears a +6 turnover margin. Coming into the game, Shaw ranked third in Division II with a +8 turnover margin. After a safety and a field goal, Williams broke the Shaw career rushing touchdown record with a two-yard run late in the first quarter to make the score 12-0. With the score 12-6 Shaw, Ellison then scored his first TD of the night, a two-yard rush that left him one behind Williams for the career TD record. Williams opened the third quarter for the Bears with his second touchdown with a five-yard dash. Micquel Johnson then picked off a pass and returned it for a touchdown. Ellison finished out the third quarter scoring with a one-yard dive into the end zone to give him a second touchdown and give the Bears a 40-6 lead. Ellison grabbed the tie for the record with another one-yard dive into the end zone to begin the fourth quarter. That touchdown also tied him with Shaw’s single game rushing touchdown record. Williams retook the career record with an eight-yard run less than two minutes later, and tied the single game record as well. Combined, Williams and Ellison rushed for 132 yards and their six combined touchdowns broke the Shaw single game team record for rushing touchdowns. To round out the scoring – and give more versatility to their game resume – the Bears scored on a 25-yard Tyrone Craig catch from Brandon Landers, and on Quintez Smith’s recovery of a fumble in the endzone. The 68 points ties the University’s record for points in a game (set in 2008 vs Chowan). In addition, with his first catch in the game, De’Andre Okonji broke the tie for career receptions. He was the leading receiver for the Bears with four receptions for 117 yards. Rico Brown led the Bear defense with six solo tackles. Smith had four solo tackles, the fumble recovery for a touchdown and broke up two passes.

2010 Shaw University Football

On a sloppy field besieged by constant rain, both teams went scoreless in the third and fourth quarters, but the Bears had their chances. The Shaw kickers, who had missed only one field goal in the first four games this season, missed three in the fourth quarter, including one as time ran out on the game. Shaw Head Coach Darrell Asberry discounted a muddy field as the cause of the kicking woes. “We just missed them,” he said. “The kicking game has been a strength all season. If I had to do it all over again, I would still make the decision to try those field goals.” The three missed field goal attempts came in a fourth quarter where neither team could mount a sustained offensive drive. Bowie State had two first downs, while Shaw had only one until their final drive in the last 38 seconds of the game. Asberry continued, “Bowie is a very good team. They are going to be a presence in the Eastern Division, and we knew that coming in. Watching from the sidelines, I felt we made mistakes, but we need to go back and evaluate the film. First of all, I need to go back and make sure I put them in the correct positions to win this game.” Shaw held a 17-3 lead with nine minutes left in the first half, but allowed the Bulldogs to score two unanswered touchdowns, making the score 17-17 at halftime. The deteriorating field conditions, perhaps more than the defenses, held the two teams scoreless in the second half. Shaw had no first downs in the third quarter, and only three in the fourth quarter – two on the final 38second drive. In the first overtime, both teams scored: Shaw on a Raymond Williams 24-yard run, and Bowie State on a two-yard Rodney Webb rush. In the second overtime, Shaw stopped the BSU offense for the first three plays, driving them back five yards. On fourth down, Bulldog quarterback Emmanuel Yeager hit Larry Dixon for a 30-yard completion for the touchdown.

Game-By-Game Review - Bowie State 31 Shaw 24 (2 OT)

(Bowie, MD) - Despite two rushing touchdowns from Raymond Williams and a defense that forced four turnovers, Shaw (4-1, 1-1 CIAA) lost in two overtimes to Bowie State, 31-24 (3-2, 2-0 CIAA) in the Prince Georges Classic.

On their possession, the Bears managed only three yards, giving Bowie the 31-24 win. The defense was the story for the Bears, as it has been most of the season. Going into the game, Shaw was first in all of Division II in turnover margin with a plus14 mark. Against BSU, Shaw collected four turnovers (two fumbles, two interceptions) and gave up only one (a Travis Robinson interception), giving them a plus -17 turnover margin on the season. Quintez Smith, who was second in Division II in interceptions going into the game, collected two more. He also had seven solo tackles and one assist, including three tackles for a loss.

Game-By-Game Review - Shaw 42 Saint Augustine’s 32

(Raleigh, NC) –Travis Robinson threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another, becoming one of eight Bears to score as Shaw University defeated cross-town rival Saint Augustine’s. Shaw (5-1, 2-1 in the CIAA) came back from a 17-3 deficit late in the first half – reeling off 26 unanswered points on their way to the victory over Saint Augustine’s (1-5, 1-2 in the CIAA). Shaw Head Coach Darrell Asberry said his team’s sluggish first half performance might have been a “leftover” from last week’s double overtime loss to Bowie State. “We just weren’t as focused or disciplined as I want.” He continued, “I give this staff great credit for going in at halftime and making great adjustments.” Robinson connected with both Tyrone Bolden and Robert Brown III and scored on a one-yard quarterback keeper to lead the scoring. Robinson was seven for 14 for 83 yards, with one interception, while sharing time at quarterback. The only other Bear to score more than once was placekicker Caleb Reid who moved to 28 for 28 in point after attempts on the season with four tallies. He also scored on a 23-yard field goal. Saint Augustine’s jumped to a 17-3 lead with 3:10 left in the first half on a field goal from Adison Daniels, an 11-yard run from Arnold Mullins, and a LaBranzo Rish interception of Robinson that he returned 57 yards for a touchdown. With 1:04 left in the first half, Shaw started its comeback with Bolden’s TD grab. Brown started the third quarter with his touchdown. DeMarcus Roberson sacked Falcon quarterback Joaquin Green in the end zone for a safety, giving the Bears their first lead at 19-17. Robinson’s rushing touchdown, and Lyncon Shepherd’s 35-yard field goal brought the score to 29-17 for the Bears. The Falcons got back onto the scoreboard with 1:51 left in the third when Tyron Laughinghouse hauled in a five-yard pass from Kris Brownlee to pull the Falcons within five, 29-24. Gerald Kennedy returned a punt blocked by Antonio Dunn five yards to open the fourth quarter, and Raymond Williams closed out the Bears scoring with a three-yard run with 5:26 left in the game. Brownlee closed out the Falcon scoring with a six-yard run, with a two-point conversion on a Green rush. Aaron Ellison, Jr., led the Bears in rushing with 107 yards, including a key 28-yard dash to the Falcon one-yard line, setting up Robinson’s quarterback keeper. Williams ran for 79 yards, plus had 44 yards on kickoff returns. On defense, Rico Brown and Herbert Tanner each had four solo tackles and three assists. Kennedy had four tackles and two assists and forced a fumble in addition to his touchdown. Quintez Smith, who led Division II in interceptions coming into the game, picked off a pass while also tallying four solo tackles and one assist.

2010 Shaw University Football

All but three of Fayetteville’s points came either off a turnover, or on a drive that began with a turnover. Shaw fumbled twice and the two Shaw quarterbacks threw three interceptions. The punting team also struggled. In addition to giving up a blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown, a snap sailed over the punter’s head and into the end zone for a Bronco safety, giving FSU the final 29-28 tally. “They capitalized off our mistakes,” said Shaw Head Coach Darrell Asberry. “That’s what a good team does. They beat us today. In spite of this loss, I must say that I am still proud of my team and proud of our coaches.” The tone for the game was set in the opening minutes. Less than a minute into the game, Jeffery Gowdy intercepted a Brandon Landers pass and returned it to the Shaw three. Two plays later, the Broncos held a 7-0 lead. Three minutes later, Gerard Atkinson picked off a Travis Robinson pass and returned it 72 yards for the touchdown and a 14-0 Bronco lead. Shaw fought back quickly, scoring on a 58-yard Landers pass to De’Andre Okonji and then on a 13-yard Aaron Ellison, Jr. rush, to tie the game before the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was all Fayetteville State’s. Austin Turner kicked a 28-yard field goal – the only Bronco points that did not result from a Shaw turnover, then Adrian Horton returned a blocked punt 13 yards, giving the Broncos the ten-point lead they carried into halftime. As it has most of the season, the third quarter belonged to Shaw. Through six games, the Bears had outscored their opponents 50-7 in the third.

Game-By-Game Review - Fayetteville State 29 Shaw 28

(Fayetteville, NC) – Shaw held the statistical edge throughout the game – 488 total yards versus 120 for Fayetteville State – but the Broncos forced five Bear turnovers and blocked two Shaw punts for a 29-28 win that all but ensures the Broncos the CIAA Western Division title.

Against the Broncos, Shaw scored on a 32yard pass from Landers to Jayson Royal and a 66-yard rush from Raymond Williams. The Bear defense held the Broncos scoreless, giving Shaw a four-point lead going into the fourth quarter. With less than a minute and a half gone in the fourth, Turner hit a 40-yard field goal to cut the Shaw lead to one point. That set the stage for the bad snap and safety, giving the Broncos a lead with 4:08 left in the game. The Broncos burned two minutes off the clock while going four and out, giving the Bears only two minutes to score. Shaw could only move the ball three yards in four plays and watched as FSU took a knee to end the game. Placekicker Caleb Reid was a perfect four for four on PATs. He now is 33 for 33 on the season, leading the nation.

Game-By-Game Review - Shaw 53 Chowan 20

(Murfreesboro, NC) – Brandon Landers threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for a third on the way to Shaw University’s win over Chowan University 53-20. Defensive back Quintez Smith returned both a fumble recovery and an interception for touchdowns. The fourth interception for a TD ties Smith for the NCAA record. The Bears rolled up 453 yards of total offense, but only had 20:29 in time of possession on the game and had 11 fewer first downs on the evening. Despite 165 yards of offense in the first half, the Bears appeared to sputter, struggling to mount a sustained offensive drive. It wasn’t until the second half that they started firing on all cylinders. “I’m proud of how they responded,” said Head Coach Darrell Asberry. “Coming off of a tough loss (29-28 against Fayetteville State) last week, and off of a rough first half, they refocused in the second half and finally got all three phases working well. We’re still struggling to find a rhythm in the first half.” With 4:06 left in the half, Chowan quarterback C. J. Westler fumbled, and Smith scooped it up, returning it for 37 yards and a Shaw touchdown. But, for the first time all year (34 attempts), Caleb Reid missed the PAT, leaving the score at 13-6 Shaw. With time running out in the first half, Landers connected with Jayson Royal for 41 yards, which put the Bears deep in Hawk territory. Three plays later, Landers completed the scoring drive with a one-yard rush into the end zone, allowing Shaw to take a 20-6 lead into the locker room. The Bears actually had the ball for even less time in the second half (10:40 in the first, 9:49 in the second), but still managed to score 33 points, with major contributions in all three phases of the game. With just over 10 minutes left in the game, Smith tied the NCAA Division II record by intercepting a Westler pass and returning it 74 yards for a touchdown. The score gave the Bears a 40-13 lead. In addition to his two touchdowns, Smith had six solo tackles, four assists and broke up a pass. The interception against Chowan brings Smith’s total to eight on the season. He has scored six touchdowns on the year. “He’s been unbelievable for us,” said Asberry. “He does things you just can’t coach. We’re lucky to have him.” Williams finished the night with 95 yards rushing, 28 yards on kick returns and the two touchdowns. Gregory had 126 yards in receptions on the night. Landers was nine for 11 for 230 yards and two touchdowns passing. Robinson finished the night with 101 yards on a nine for 16 night.

2010 Shaw University Football

Shaw (7-2, 4-2 in the CIAA) held the Blue Bears (0-9, 0-6 in the CIAA) to only 99 yards of offense, while amassing 358 yards of their own. Despite the lopsided win, the Bears drive to a third straight CIAA championship was dealt a major blow as Fayetteville State defeated Saint Augustine’s 56-5. Shaw can only win the Western Division if Fayetteville loses to Livingstone next week, while the Bears beat Johnson C. Smith. Shaw got off to an early start when De’Andre Okonji returned the opening kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown. Less than four minutes later, Robinson connected with Jayson Royal for an 18-yard strike and a 14-0 lead. After DeMarcus Roberson recovered a Livingstone fumble, the Bears scored on a 17-yard Ellison touchdown. The extra point was no good, leaving the score at 20-0 in favor of the Bears less than eight minutes into the game. The weather wrested control of the game from both teams midway through the first quarter. A driving rain made it difficult for either team to find a rhythm. Neither team mounted a drive of over six plays throughout the rest of the first half. The only scoring – a Jordan Beckham 26-yard field goal for Livingstone – came as a result of a bad snap on a Shaw punt. At the end of the first half, each team had only five first downs, and Livingstone had a single yard rushing. Livingstone had a total of 47 offensive yards and the Bears had only 91 yards of offense.

Game-By-Game Review - Shaw 54 Livingstone 3

(Raleigh, NC) – Marcus Brooks and Travis Robinson each threw for two touchdowns, Julius Gregory caught two touchdowns and Aaron Ellison rushed for two touchdowns as Shaw easily handled visiting Livingstone College 54-3 for a Homecoming win.

Livingstone’s offensive woes did not improve in the third quarter. Just over a minute into the period, Okonji blocked a Beckham punt into the end zone, giving the Bears a safety and a 22-3 lead. Ellison added a four-yard rushing touchdown, and Antonio Dunn scored on a twoyard run to bring the Bear lead to 34-3. Gregory then caught two seven-yard touchdown passes -- one from Robinson and one from Brooks. Brooks connected with Tyrone Craig for the two-point conversion to give Shaw a 48-3 lead. Brooks closed off the scoring with just over a minute left in the game when he connected with Tyrone Bolden for a 35-yard touchdown strike. The two-point conversion failed, leaving the final score 54-3. Shaw leading rusher Raymond Williams was injured early in the game, so Ellison shouldered most of the running load, with 16 carries for 86 yards. Quintez Smith, who leads NCAA Division II in interceptions, picked off another pass, bringing his season total to nine.

Game-By-Game Review - Shaw 50 Johnson C. Smith 0

(Raleigh, NC) –The schedule read “Senior Day,” but instead of simply accepting the accolades, the Bear seniors took the game in hand and easily defeated Johnson C. Smith 50-0. Senior receiver De’Andre Okonji caught one touchdown, had 125 yards on six receptions, and recovered a blocked punt in the end zone for a second touchdown. Senior running back Aaron Ellison, Jr. rushed for 163 yards with one touchdown on 16 attempts – giving him a healthy 10.2 yards per rush average on the night. Senior James Duplessis had seven tackles, including two tackles for a loss, while his classmates Quintez Smith and Dwayne Moss had six and five tackles, respectively. But senior Travis Robinson may have outdone them all with 313 yards and four touchdowns on an 18 for 30 passing performance. “Robinson is just such a great kid,” said Shaw Head Coach Darrell Asberry. “And this game was super and is four years overdue for him. He’s going to make it in life just fine – he’s endured four years of Coach Asberry.” The Bears were dominant in all three aspects of the game, rolling up 596 yards of offense while holding the Golden Bulls to 217 yards. The Bears also blocked two punts – one recovered by Okonji in the end zone for a touchdown, and the other recovered in the end zone by JCSU for a Shaw safety. Okonji’s recovery of the punt blocked by Tyrone Bolden opened the scoring for Shaw, then Robinson connected with four different receivers for touchdowns: Okonji, Julius Gregory, Jayson Royal, and Tyrone Craig. Aaron Ellison broke a 34-yard run early in the third quarter to give Shaw a 34-0 lead. A few minutes later, Smith blocked a punt that was recovered by JCSU in the end zone for a safety. Craig caught a second touchdown, this one from Marcus Brooks, to close out the Shaw scoring, giving the Bears a 50-0 final tally, and giving the seniors – and the rest of the team – an evening to enjoy. Smith finishes the year tied with the NCAA Division II single season record for interceptions returned for touchdowns with four. In his final college game, Smith had six solo tackles, blocked the punt for the safety, and broke up a pass. The Bears finish the season with mixed emotions, however. At 8-2, Shaw has its best record since Asberry arrived at Shaw four years ago, but for the first time in three years, will not be returning to the CIAA Championship game. With a 5-2 conference record, they finished one game behind Fayetteville State, who beat Shaw 29-28 three weeks ago. “These guys deserve something better. It is just unacceptable,” Asberry said. “We let those two games (Fayetteville State and Bowie State) get away from us. It cost us. But this was still a special year.”
