Who you got? Super bowl prediction

The Enhancement of HBCU Sports

As the season winds down, the biggest day in sports has arrived, the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, my team did not do well this year, finishing with a 7-10 record. The New Orleans Saints could not get things going for our city. Of course, that does not stop me from watching football. Next up, I was rooting for Joe “Shiesty” Burrow and the Bengals. They had a spectacular season but fell short to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are taking on the Philadelphia Eagles for Super Bowl LVII. Overall, this is going to be a great game.

For the first time in NFL History, we have two African American quarterbacks facing off in a super bowl.

Will the Chiefs beat the Eagles? Not at all. The Eagles played phenomenal football throughout the entire season.

From the first game, Hurts has been holding down the team with some star athletes, such as Devonte Smith and AJ Brown. The Eagles have a great offense inside and out. They also have an outstanding defense. Their defense had 3 sacks and 18 pressures with seven quarterback hit against the San Francisco 49ers in the AFC Championship. Hurts missed two games late in the season due to a shoulder injury. When he returned from injury, he came out blazing. He continued to dominate and take care of business. With their record and stats, they are going to smash the Chiefs in the super bowl.

Don’t get me wrong. Mahomes is like a, “cheat code.” I do not know how he does it, but he makes some magnificent plays. Mahomes and Kelce carried the Chiefs to victory in the NFC Championship game. The week before the game, Mahomes was dealing with an ankle injury, but the way he played against the Bengals looked almost as if he was his normal, high-performing self. Mahomes was not the only person who was injured. Multiple players from the Chiefs were injured. JuJu Smith is working with a knee injury, and Kadarius Toney has an ankle injury. There is also the halftime show. We all know the one and only Rihanna is going to perform. Rihanna is a beautiful queen with some great music. Super Bowl halftime shows are no ordinary performances. However, I am excited to see what she brings to the table. I already know she will throw some crazy outfits on to go with her performance. It will mentors are strategically placed on position and sports. It is always good to have a mentor outside of your field to gain a stern outlook on what is to come. Many colleges are now moving into NIL deals for players. Providing lump sums of money to these athletes. Many of them, especially those attending an HBCU background, have never touched money like that. Having someone to help guide you with decisions and investments would be wise. You never know life’s next move, but you must be prepared for what it throws at you.

So when asked “What changes can be made to make HBCU sports better?”, I answer by looking beyond sports. Looking at the individuals playing the sports. They are more than just athletes. We have to show them that we care, show them that we understand and that we are here for them. There is a very great chance for better performance if these few changes were put into place and executed correctly.

BASEBALL from page 4 throughout the season. The players have been known to step up to the plate and give their opponents a run for their money. The Jags play up to the competition and not down and it shows in their work ethic and swagger. be the first time Rihanna pops out after having her baby, so I wonder if she will include her baby sometime in her performance.

With the Chiefs’ injuries and an Eagles team that looks in top form despite the rumors of Jalen Hurts’ shoulder injury, I am confident the Eagles will win because the Chiefs’ defense will not be able to handle the Eagles’ explosive offense. In addition, the Eagles’ defense is aggressive and tenacious, so Mahomes will have his work cut out for him. I am upset the NFL season is coming to an end. On the other hand, I am excited to watch the finale of NFL football.

The results speak for themself. The Jags will have a long season ahead of them, but they are confident they will be there in the end. The Jags will have returning outfielder Jaylen Armstrong, a junior, from Southaven, Mississippi. As well as, junior infielder O’Neil Burgos from Juncos, Puerto Rico. Armstrong finished last season with a batting average of .360 and a .974 fielding percentage. Burgos concluded with a batting average of .322 and a .963 fielding percentage. The team as a whole had a batting avg of .276 and a fielding percentage of .952.

With the majority of the team returning to play another season, chemistry should be present. Coming off of a great season with a record of 21-9 in conference play, the players will know what to expect and how to prepare to continue their success.

Stay tuned to the weekly updates and live coverage at the during home games.
