2008 WSSU Basketball

Bahamas Aug. 29 - Sept. 1

The Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team traveled to Nassau, Bahamas this past summer for a fourday foreign tour which saw the Rams play a pair of exhibition games versus club and professional teams. The Rams took advantage of an NCAA rule that allows for a basketball program to schedule a foreign tour and play in an early tournament once every four years. WSSU was allowed to practice for 10 days prior to its departure for the Bahamas on August 29 as the Rams prepared to face a pair of club teams with members of the Bahamian National Team on them. Despite the stiff competition, the Rams earned a split on their tour of the Bahamas as they fell, 85-82 to the Bahamas Select and defeated the Cybots Bahamas All-Stars, 79-75. Senior forward Jamal Durham tallied a career-high 28 points in the loss while junior transfer Diontae Gibson scored 17 points in the victory. The foreign tour, organized by the Basketball Travelers, Inc., was not all work for the Rams, however, as studentathletes, coaches and support staff enjoyed their trip with a stay at the Sheraton Resort on historic Cable Beach. A four-star all-inclusive resort, the Rams enjoyed picturesque views on a white sand beach, dined on freshly prepared meals and enjoyed water sports and beach volleyball. The Rams next foreign tour will be in the summer of 2012 to an as-yet-to-be-determined location.

A Nike & Russell School

The 2008-09 season marks the third year for the Rams at the NCAA Division I level and will again continue to usher in a new age of basketball history for Winston-Salem State University. The transition from Division II to the nation’s highest level of intercollegiate athletic competition at the NCAA Division I level will require changes and improvements to nearly every facet of the basketball program, with the uniforms that the players wear being no different. The Rams, as part of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, have partnered with worldrenowned corporate entities Russell Athletic and Nike to help outfit their teams. As part of the partnership between Nike and Russell Athletic, the MEAC, and the 12 conference member schools, each institution receives complimentary uniforms from Russell Athletic and an allotment of footwear from Nike, the world’s most esteemed footwear brand. The 2008-09 season marks the third consecutive year that the Rams have participated in this partnership and the Rams will again wear apparel and footwear from the pair of industry leaders. From its beginnings in 1902, Russell Corporation has prided itself on the quality and value of its products -and on its commitment to its employees and the communities where it operates. Russell has long been a company that is able to take advantage of changes in the marketplace, changes in technology, and changes in its products. Building on its heritage as an athletic company, Russell has become a global leader in the sporting goods industry with apparel and equipment for all levels of activity - from the playing fields of major colleges to the backyards of homes across the country. With its well-known brands such as Russell Athletic, JERZEES, Spalding, Moving Comfort and a variety of technically designed running shoes from Brooks Sports, Russell Corporation has the products to meet the needs of the serious athlete to the weekend warrior - and everything in between. That is why the Rams and all 12 members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, as well as over 500 other NCAA member institutions choose Russell Athletic for all of their uniform and apparel needs. The Rams, like all other college basketball programs in the NCAA, will wear dark colored jerseys on the road and light colored jerseys at home. The Rams will wear a scarlet red (PMS 199) road jersey with white taping for all road games. The dri-power jerseys will

feature tackle-twill numbers on the front and back with name plates adorning the back of the jersey. The Rams athletic mark will be embroidered on the front placket, and the MEAC logo will emblazon the left chest. The 2008-09 season will see the Rams unveil a new road uniform designed by Russell Athletic. The game jersey is composed of 86 percent nylon and 14 percent spandex and is a loose-fitting jersey designed to help control overheating with a state-of-the-art moisture management system. WSSU’s home jersey will be a white Russell Athletic dri-power top with red taping. The home jersey is nearly the mirror opposite of the road jersey with tackle-twill numbers on the front and back with name plates adorning the back of the jersey. The Rams athletic mark will again be embroidered on the front placket and the MEAC logo will emblazon the left chest. The 2008-09 season will be the second season of use for the Rams home jersey which is also designed by Russell Athletic. The home game jersey is composed of 86 percent nylon and 14 percent spandex and is also a loose-fitting jersey designed to help control overheating with a state-of-theart moisture management system. The Rams also possess a third color alternate jersey that is identical to the home and road jerseys with the exception of being black in color (PMS Black). The footwear of choice for the Rams will be emblazoned with the world-famous Nike Swoosh. Nike, Inc. operates on six continents with suppliers, shippers, retailers and service providers employing close to one million people. The diversity inherent in such size is helping Nike evolve its role as a global company. Nike, Inc. is committed to an attitude whereby they see a bigger picture today than when they started, one that includes building sustainable business with sound labor practices. Nike, Inc. retains the zeal of youth yet acts on their responsibilities as a global corporate citizen. As a direct result of these future-minded business practices, Nike, Inc. has become the world’s largest supplier of footwear to the NCAA and currently holds a market share near 65%. The Rams will wear up to five different models of footwear in 2008-09 including, but not limited to, the Nike Powermax TB, Nike Hyperdunk, Nike Zoom Soldier II TB, Nike Shox Slam TB, and the Nike Air Bizness. As long as the Rams continue to stay on the cutting edge of athletic performance, they will wear Nike’s cutting-edge footwear and Russell Athletic uniforms.

National Media Exposure The Rams are a high profile team that receive local, regional and national media attention in print, on the Internet, and on the radio and television. Over the past five seasons, the WinstonSalem State University men’s basketball team has appeared on television five times and has posted a 2-3 mark when doing so. The Rams have appeared on live television in all five of those contests. Winston-Salem State University athletic teams have appeared on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Classic, BET, Fox Sports Net, MASN (the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network), the NFL Network, and MediaComm over the past five seasons. As part of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference television partnership, the WSSU football and men’s and women’s basketball teams appear on television at least one time each during their regular seasons. In 2007 WSSU football defeated Florida A&M by the score of 27-23 in the 2007 Circle City Classic at the RCA Dome in a game aired live on the NFL Network. The broadcast marked the first college game ever shown on the NFL Network. In 2008-09 the Rams will host a pair of nationally televised men’s basketball contests as they face Morgan State (Feb. 7) and Bethune-Cookman (March 2) on ESPNU HD. In 2003, the WSSU football team defeated arch rival North Carolina Central by the score of 47-0 in a nationally-televised contest that was shown live on Black Entertainment Television (BET). With a first-class athletic website and a partnership with CBS Sports Online, WSSURAMS.com receives over 10,000 hits a month and hosts over 1,000 unique visitors each day.

Over the past two seasons WSSU has played

Nationally Ranked Opponents The Rams belong to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, a nationallyrecognized competitive basketball conference that is witness to ultracompetitive league play. However, the Rams also play a very challenging non-conference schedule in which the Rams face many of college basketball’s elite programs. The 2006-07 season saw the Rams travel to Auburn, Alabama to face the Tigers of Auburn University, members of the SEC.

The Rams face the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest every year in a crosstown rivalry game between two teams that are separated by less than five miles. The two teams share a home venue (the LJVM Coliseum) several times each season.

WSSU faced the nationally-ranked Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana on Nov. 29, 2006 in the Rams’ first trip to Notre Dame’s storied campus.

The Rams faced the Hoyas of Georgetown on Dec. 16, 2006 as WSSU took on a Georgetown team that would advance to the Final Four that same season.

WSSU faced 11th-ranked Kansas at storied Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas on Dec. 19, 2006 in WSSU’s first-ever trip to the State of Kansas.

WSSU faced the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech in 2006-07 and will again face the Wramblin’ Wreck in 2008-09 in WSSU’s season-opener.

A Dominating Defense

The Rams pride themselves on defensive dominance as WSSU’s shut-down defensive scheme is a key component in Head Coach Bobby Collins’ transition-based offense. WSSU forced their opponents into a pair of three-second violations, a trio of five-second closely-guarded calls, one 10-second violation, and seven shot clock violations in 2007-08 with their high pressure defense. WSSU returns their top two rebounders from last season as Paul Davis and Jamal Durham will again be keys in the Rams’ lineup in 2008-09. Davis led the team in rebounding 11 times last season while Durham led the team in boards nine times. As a team, the Rams tallied 39 charges on the year for an average of 1.3 charges per game with nine different WSSU roster players recorded multiple charges. WSSU recorded 249 steals last season as the Rams averaged 8.3 takeaways per game. Opponents of the Rams were forced into 500 turnovers last season for an average of 16.7 turnovers per game. As a team, the Rams gave up only 67.6 points per game, good enough to rank WSSU in the top half of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in scoring defense. WSSU would have ranked third in the MEAC in field goal percentage defense last season as the Rams allowed their opponents to shoot only 43.1 percent from the field. The Rams recorded 10 or more steals 10 times in 2007-08 and posted a 7-3 record when doing so.

A Potent Offense The Rams possess a fast-paced offense that relies heavily upon transition baskets and a high-tempo scheme that simply outworks WSSU’s opponents. WSSU averaged nearly 63 points per game as the Rams ranked in the top half of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in scoring. The Rams tallied 62 dunks in 2007-08 as Jamal Durham accounted for 30 dunks and Paul Davis chipped in with 14. Head Coach Bobby Collins’ offense stresses ball movement as eight different players led the Rams in scoring at least once last season. The Rams scored 495 points off of turnovers last season for an average of 16.5 points off of turnovers per game. WSSU recorded 380 second chance points (12.7 points per game) and tallied 173 fast break points (5.8 points per game). The 2008-09 Rams return 57 percent of the teams’ offense as WSSU welcomes back players responsible for scoring 1,062 of last season’s total of 1,876 points. Forward Jamal Durham, a player who led the Rams in scoring 12 times, and rebounding nine times returns for his senior season in 2008-09. The Rams offense is a well-rounded unit that recorded 792 points in the paint (26.4 ppg) and hit more than five three-point field goals in 14 games.

Basketball Game Day An Unparalleled Atmosphere The Rams play their home games at any one of three of the most impressive basketball venues in the nation as WSSU calls the C.E. Gaines Center, the LJVM Coliseum and the Coliseum Annex home. WSSU will play home games at the C.E. Gaines Center on the campus of Winston-Salem State University several times in 200809. The 3,200-seat arena, bearing the namesake of legendary WSSU coach Clarence “Big House” Gaines, puts Ram fans right on top of the action. The Rams will face their biggest rival, the North Carolina A&T Aggies at the LJVM Coliseum, one of the most beautiful basketball facilities in America. The 14,665-seat venue has seen WSSU take on cross-town rival Wake Forest, Fresno State, Hampton, Howard, MD-Eastern Shore and a host of others. The LJVM Coliseum will serve as the home for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Basketball Tournament for the next three years beginning in 2009. The venue has also hosted the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds four times (1993, 1997, 2000 and 2007). WSSU’s primary home is the Coliseum Annex, a 4,200-seat venue that the Rams call home. WSSU posted a 9-5 record at home in 2007-08 including a 71-63 win over MEAC-leading North Carolina A&T in front of a sold out crowd.

The Rams’ five largest attended games in WSSU history have come in the last three seasons as WSSU has renewed rivalries with and played host to long-time foes and drew the largest single-game crowd in history when they defeated North Carolina A&T 71-63 on Feb. 23, 2008 in front of more than 4,200 fans. All three of WSSU’s basketball venues have been described by WSSU head men’s basketball coach Bobby Collins as: “Very difficult places to play. Each of the three venues possesses its own characteristics and nuances and they are all very difficult places for our opponents to get wins. The venues are great college basketball arenas and the Ram fans and their passion for this team and for their university is unparalleled. The fans, our sixth man, makes the difference, no matter where we call home.” The C.E. Gaines Center is an on-campus facility that saw its first action in 1971. The 3,200-seat venue is owned by WinstonSalem State University and is managed by the WSSU Department of Athletics. The LJVM Coliseum and Coliseum Annex are owned and operated by the city of Winston-Salem, and sitting only a short three miles from the main WSSU campus are a convenient location for Ram fans and WSSU students. Shuttles to and from campus are made possible by a joint venture between the WSSU Department of Athletics,WSSU Office of Student Affairs and the City of Winston-Salem.

WSSU Athletic Fieldhouse The Winston-Salem State University Department of Athletics recently opened a state-of-the-art 20,992 square foot athletic fieldhouse which was welcomed by an official ribbon-cutting ceremony in May of 2008.

The fieldhouse is the home of Winston-Salem State University football with a cutting-edge pair of locker rooms, training rooms, and a 4,000 square foot speed, strength and conditioning training facility.

The five-million dollar building was designed by Carlos Espinosa of Thomas H. Hughes Architecture, P.C. and was built by Triad Builders of King, North Carolina under the guidance of Project Manager, Aric Bullington and Superintendent, Doug Boelsche.

Adjacent to the fieldhouse, the Rams are putting the finishing touches on their new practice facility which will be home to a full 100-yard grass football field and a 50-yard next generation FieldTurf surfaced practice field.

The fieldhouse houses all of WSSU’s football, sports medicine, and athletic administration offices as well a pair of general-use offices, two skyboxes, and over 4,000 square feet of meeting space.

The focal point of the new WSSU Athletic Fieldhouse is the 1,600 square foot hospitality room that sits adjacent to the open-air, full-length deck with accommodations for over 400 VIP’s and guests of WSSU football.

Perched atop of the back of the fieldhouse is the newest and most advanced video board in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. With a total cost approaching nearly $400,000 dollars, the board was assembled by Texas Star Solutions and manufactured by Lighthouse. The Rams’ video board is built to the same exacting standards as a pair of Lighthouse video boards that adorn Qwest Field in Seattle, the home of the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL.

Also included in the fieldhouse are offense and defense meeting rooms with a state-of-the-art video editing software system for breaking down game film. Each assistant football coach has access to video playback capability in their individual offices.

Rams In The Community Student-Athletes at Winston-Salem State University have full calendars: classes, labs and study groups plus practices, workouts, and team meetings. Nonetheless, most WSSU student-athletes find time in their schedules to reach out to their community and prepare for life after their athletic careers at WSSU are over. The Rams and Lady Rams are extremely active in the community. From youth reading programs to after school activities, the student-athletes at WSSU are constantly giving back to their communities.

The CHAMPS/Life Skills program has five commitments for the establishment of a well-rounded student-athlete. Those commitments include academics, athletics, career development, personal development, and community service. It is through those five areas that the program works to develop not only quality student-athletes, but also exceptional individuals.

CHAMPS/Life Skills

CHAMPS/Life Skills offers student-athletes the opportunity to enhance their experience as Rams through leadership opportunities. In addition to community activities, the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program has a StudentAthlete Advisory Council (SAAC) that meets once a month to discuss issues dealing with the welfare of the student-athletes.

CHAMPS (CHallenging Athletes’ Minds for Personal Success) was implemented in NCAA institutions beginning in 1994. The CHAMPS/ Life Skills program was created to improve and enhance the studentathlete experience within their selected communities. The program was founded at Winston-Salem State University in 1998 and is under the guidance of Associate Director of Athletics/Senior Woman Administrator Tonia Walker. “The purpose of CHAMPS/Life Skills is to prepare student-athletes for their life after athletics,” says Tonia Walker, WSSU’s CHAMPS/Life Skills Director. “The student-athletes help to mentor youth in the community, thereby strengthening not only their bond with the community but the community’s bond with the students and athletes of WSSU.”

Student-Athlete Advisory Council

The SAAC consists of one representative from every varsity sport at WSSU, with the exception of football, which is represented by two student-athletes. Each team is guaranteed one seat on the Council. The council is governed by a constitution and is student-athlete led. Involvement in the CHAMPS/Life Skills program is voluntary, yet each year over 150 WSSU student-athletes participate. In 2007-08, CHAMPS/Life Skills members volunteered more than 800 hours, reaching thousands of local children.

Exceptional Sports Medicine All Winston-Salem State University student-athletes receive first-class care from the WSSU Sports Medicine staff which is comprised of a team of certified athletic trainers, family practice physicians, orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine consultants, and a group of undergraduate students who are completing clinical experiences in the Department of Human Performance and Sport Sciences. The Sports Medicine program at WSSU is closely associated with the WFU Baptist Medical Center Department of Sports Medicine. As a result, all injured student-athletes at WSSU receive immediate attention from physicians with the highest credentials. The Winston-Salem State University Sports Medicine philosophy is two-fold: to assist in preventing injuries through effective seasonal and research-oriented programs, and to facilitate an aggressive post-injury total-body rehabilitation program for a timely return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate total well being of each student-athlete is the top priority. WSSU’s aggressive and functional approach encompasses a wide array of Sports Medicine consultants. Several rehabilitation programs may include osteopathic manual medicine, exercise physiology, nutrition, biomechanical evaluations, sports psychiatry, massage therapy and orthopedic surgeons. The WSSU Sports Medicine staff is comprised of certified athletic trainer and Director of Sports Medicine, Darrell Turner, M.Ed., ATC, LAT; Sarah Muslim, M.S., ATC, LAT, COCS; Felicia Tucker, M.S., ATC; Sharron Elliott, M.S., ATC, CSCS; Dr. Cristin Ferguson, M.D., team orthopedic surgeon; Dr. Daryl Rosenbaum, M.D., team physician, and Dr. Heath Thornton, M.D., team physician. “The most important aspect of the Sports Medicine program is the athletes. At WSSU we utilize a family approach where we try to provide the athletes with the same exceptional level of healthcare that we would want our own family to receive,” Director of Sports Medicine, Darrell Turner, M.Ed., ATC, LAT said.

Speed, Strength & Conditioning Much of what it takes to become a successful student-athlete at Winston-Salem State University begins in the weight room. Mike Ketchum, Winston-Salem State University football’s Defensive Coordinator also serves double-duty as the WSSU Athletic Department’s strength and conditioning advisor. Ketchum, with the cooperation of WSSU Director of Sports Medicine, Darrell Turner M.Ed., ATC have implemented a strength and conditioning program that challenges each and every player to the utmost. It is the goal of Ketchum and Turner to help each student-athlete at WSSU maximize their athletic potential while adding speed, strength, and size. Under the direction of both Ketchum and Turner, the WSSU Strength and Conditioning program has adopted an aggressive attitude in making a commitment to winning. This commitment applies to the team’s efforts on the fields and courts of play and to the teams’ hard work and dedication in the weight room. To fulfill this commitment,Winston-Salem State University has completely remodeled its athletes-only Whitaker Strength and Conditioning facility.

Inside the 3,800 square foot facility there are nine workstations that each include a power rack, Olympic lifting platform, squat stand, bumper and a complete weight tree. As well, the facility houses two complete sets of dumbbells from 10-125 pounds, a 0-90 degree utility bench, chinup bars and a dip rack. The Rams also make use of the new 4,000 square foot WSSU Athletic Fieldhouse weight room that contains 10 Hammer Strength power stations, six Olympic dead lift stations, a full complement of dumbbells from 10-125 pounds, a neck machine and a new, state-of-the-art treadmill. These tools afford Winston-Salem State University student-athletes the opportunity to maximize their athletic potential. Both Ketchum and Turner are constantly monitoring the progress of WSSU student-athletes as well as tailoring sport-specific strength and conditioning programs in order to fully take advantages of the innovations in their developing field.

First Class Facilities Winston-Salem State University student-athletes have the privilege of playing in some of the finest quality facilities in the nation. From the lush green playing surface at Bowman Gray Stadium to the premium quality hardwood adorning the C.E. Gaines Center, the LJVM Coliseum and Coliseum Annex to the unparalleled quality of the WSSU Athletic Fieldhouse and football practice facility,WSSU athletes have access to the finest athletic resources in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

Bowman Gray Stadium The Winston-Salem State University football team plays its home games in the friendly confines of nearby Bowman Gray Stadium. Constructed in 1948, Bowman Gray Stadium is owned by the city of Winston-Salem and is located one block from the Winston-Salem State University main campus. The stadium holds 18,000 fans for exciting Winston-Salem State Rams football games each fall. For concerts and special events, Bowman Gray Stadium holds more than 25,000 fans. Every Saturday night from spring until football season in the fall, Bowman Gray features the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series. Seating is available for 20,000 race fans, with most races selling out. Races begin at 8:00 p.m. every Saturday evening, with gates opening at 6:00 p.m. Bowman Gray Stadium and Winston-Salem State University football are both local legends that attract multitudes of fans on a regular basis. The Rams have been playing at Bowman Gray stadium since the 1946 season

and have amassed a record of 42-24-1 at home since head football coach Kermit Blount took over as Head Coach of the Rams in 1993. The stadium was also host to Wake Forest University football until the cross-town Deacons moved into Groves Stadium in 1968. The stadium houses a natural grass field and an impressive 3,748 square-foot, dual-level, press box. A new $5.1 million fieldhouse was completed in May of 2008 following an 18-month construction process that began following the 2006 football season. The old fieldhouse which stood at Bowman-Gray Stadium for the better part of two decades was removed and a new, state-of-the-art 20,992 square foot athletic fieldhouse was welcomed in an official ribboncutting ceremony in May of 2008. The five-million dollar building was designed by Carlos Espinosa of Thomas H. Hughes Architecture, P.C. and was built by Triad Builders of King, North Carolina under the guidance of Project Manager, Aric Bullington and Superintendent, Doug Boelsche.

The fieldhouse houses all of WSSU’s football, sports medicine, and athletic administration offices as well a pair of general-use offices, two skyboxes, and over 4,000 square feet of meeting space. Perched atop of the back of the fieldhouse is the newest and most advanced video board in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. With a total cost approaching nearly $400,000 dollars, the board was assembled by Texas Star Solutions and manufactured by Lighthouse. The Rams’ video board is built to the same exacting standards as a pair of Lighthouse video boards that adorn Qwest Field in Seattle, the home of the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL. Measuring 18 feet high and 18 feet wide in the viewable area, the newest generation hi-definition LED display has the capability to reproduce over 16 million colors and is the crowning jewel which sits atop of the Rams’ state-of-the-art athletic fieldhouse.

The Clarence E. Gaines Center The Clarence E. Gaines Center, known to most as “The Gaines Center” is one of the trio of sites in which the Winston-Salem State University men’s and women’s basketball teams compete. It serves as not only a competition site, but as the primary practice facility for both the Rams and Lady Rams, in addition to being the home site for the WSSU women’s volleyball team. What was once considered to be “state-of-theart” is now deemed too small for the larger than capacity crowds that both the men’s and women’s basketball teams generate. While the Gaines Center seats over 3,200 persons, the majority of games have sell-out attendance, prompting the Rams’ and Lady

Rams’ recent moves to the LJVM Coliseum and Coliseum Annex. The Gaines Center is a very hostile place for visiting teams to play, and the Rams and Lady Rams very seldom lose in its friendly confines amassing a home winning percentage near 70 percent for the last decade. The playing surface, constructed of premium quality hard wood, is resurfaced every year to optimize playing conditions. When fans pack into the Gaines Center to watch WSSU take on opposing teams, the gymnasium becomes a sea of raucous fans, and the temperature inside rises to nearly unbearable levels in the facility which does not have air conditioning.

Originally planned to be a classic Division II arena, the Gaines Center was constructed in 1971 and hosted its first basketball contest in November of that same year. Named after legendary WSSU basketball coach and the NCAA’s fifth winningest coach ever, Clarence E. Gaines, and adorned with rows of championship banners hanging from the ceiling, the Gaines Center is a testament to the tradition and history that is Winston-Salem State basketball. Plans for a new 6,500-seat basketball arena/convocation center are in development with construction slated for the 2010-11 academic year.

LJVM Coliseum/Coliseum Annex One of the newest arenas in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, and one of the most beautiful basketball facilities in the country is the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum with a capacity to seat 14,665 fans. The facility has served as the part-time home of Winston-Salem State University basketball since 2002 and has been home to WSSU basketball more frequently with the Rams’ transition to the NCAA Division I level. Though the facility is owned by the city of Winston-Salem, with the major tenant being the cross-town Demon Deacons of Wake Forest University, the Rams and Lady Rams play a large portion of their home schedules at the LJVM Coliseum every season. Since its opening in 1989, the Joel Coliseum has hosted many nationally-known entertainment acts, a wide variety of university and community affairs, and a number of professional and amateur sporting events that have brought the focus of the entire country to the city of Winston-Salem. The coliseum is owned and operated by the city of Winston-Salem, and only through a cooperative effort from civic and corporate leaders did the facility become a reality. A wonderful basketball facility, the LJVM Coliseum has played host to the CIAA

Basketball Championship and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds (1993, 1997, 2000 and 2007). It also played host to a prestigious Davis Cup tennis match between the United States and India. The facility hosted the first and second rounds of the 2007 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in March of 2007 marking the fourth time that the arena has hosted this event. In June of 2008 the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference announced that the MEAC Basketball Tournament would be played at the LJVM Coliseum for the next three years, marking the second conference championship played in the arena in the twenty-year history of the facility. Lawrence Joel Coliseum was actually almost two decades in the making. Twice during the 1970s (1976 and 1979), the voters of WinstonSalem rejected bond proposals that would have led to the replacement of the aging memorial coliseum. In December of 1984, however, the process was renewed again, and this time the plan was approved. A citizen’s committee determined the best size for the proposed facility, as well as a plan for an adjacent annex that could be used to supplement the calendar of events anticipated.

That annex, referred to as the LJVM Coliseum Annex, is used by the Rams for basketball in addition to the C.E. Gaines Center and the LJVM Coliseum. The total cost for the facilities was estimated at $26 million. The new coliseum was named for Lawrence Joel, the only native of Winston-Salem, N.C. who has been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest combat award. Joel, an Army medic who passed away in 1984, was recognized for saving the lives of 13 fellow soldiers during a Viet Cong attack north of Saigon in 1965. Although twice wounded in the legs by enemy machinegun fire, Joel crawled across the battle area for more than 24 hours, administering aid to his comrades. Nearly 500 other Forsyth County veterans who gave their lives for their country in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Grenada Invasion, and the Persian Gulf War are also honored in the unique memorial at the entrance of the coliseum. Ground was broken on April 23 of 1987, and work was completed on Aug. 28, 1989 with a dedication ceremony that officially announced the opening of what now is the LJVM Coliseum Complex.

Additional Facility Upgrades With the transition to NCAA Division I,the Rams and Lady Rams have experienced tremendous growth within the athletic department. New staff positions, additional coaches, increased scholarships and improvements to athletic facilities have all added to the overall studentathlete experience at Winston-Salem State University and have translated into success on the field and in the classroom. While the new WSSU athletic fieldhouse was completed this past May and the WSSU tennis complex was completed just prior to the fieldhouse opening, the Rams and Lady Rams refuse to rest upon their laurels and the WSSU Department of Athletics will be welcoming groundbreakings on two additional athletic department facilities projects as the Lady Rams softball team and the men’s and women’s track

and field teams will witness the building of their new homes as well. Located adjacent to the new WSSU tennis complex, the men’s and women’s track and field team will receive a completely new, state-of-theart track and field facility which will house an eight-lane rubberized running track, high jump and long jump pits, pole vault, hammer throw and javelin stations and will house a 100-yard football practice field. The new track and field facility will allow the Rams and Lady Rams to continue their dominance on the track and is slated for completion prior to the outdoor track and field season in the spring of 2009. As well, the lady Rams softball team will see a brand new, state-of-the-art softball stadium

being built adjacent to the track and field facility with plans to add a neighboring baseball facility in the coming years. The site for the new softball facility is the old Civitan Park location where the Lady Rams have enjoyed years of softball success en route to earning four conference softball titles. The improvements in facilities for WSSU student-athletes is possible through the generous donations and endowments of alumni, fans, and supporters of WSSU athletics. With the help of everyone in the “Ram Nation”, WSSU will continue to be an athletic power, one that carries on the tradition of excellence that has long been associated with WinstonSalem State University.

The Red Sea of Sound As exciting as WSSU football and basketball games are, the experience would not be complete without the Winston-Salem State University “Red Sea of Sound” marching band. Records have determined the existence of an instrumental music program at Slater Industrial Academy (now Winston-Salem State University) as early as 1933. The ensemble was known as the Slater Industrial Academy Orchestra. In 1925, Slater Industrial Academy became known as Winston-Salem Teachers College. The first tangible efforts in the direction of starting a band came between the years of 1937-1941. During this four year period, a group of young college students organized a musical group and named themselves the Teachers College Collegians. The Teachers College Collegians performed and played primarily dance music. Between 1943 and 1944, in an effort to stimulate growth and development with the band, the Winston-Salem Teachers College National Association created the “Band Project,” a fund raiser for the band program. The Association raised $1,507.25 to purchase eighteen (18) instruments for the band program. During that time the band played at chapel services each week. The college’s first band was organized in 1945 under the direction of music instructor Hamlet Goore. Mr. Goore served as band director until 1950. During the five-year period spanning from 1945 to 1950 the organization made tremendous progress. During the 50’s and early 60’s, not much information exists concerning the Winston-Salem State Teachers College Band. It is known that in 1966 or 1967, the band was under the direction of Mr. Harry Pickard. In 1969 the band was under the baton of Dr. Fred Tanner. At the end of the 1969-70 football season, the band was presented with an award for being the “Biggest Sound in the CIAA.” Many

notable achievements occurred during the early and late 1970’s which include: A half-time performance for the Baltimore Colts – 1971 Participation in the AfroAmerican Day Parade –New York City, 1974 A performance for the arrival of President Jimmy Carter, 1976 Participation in the RJR Rodeo Parade Participation in the parade for the new Masonic Lodge, WinstonSalem In 1972, Winston-Salem State College became known as Winston-Salem State University. The notoriety of the band program excelled during Dr. Tanner’s career and the WSSU band became nationally recognized as one of the best instrumental ensembles in the country. The program changed hands several times after Dr.Tanner relinquished the position. The most notable change occurred in 1994 when Mr. Emory Jones became the band master. Mr. Jones is a 1971 graduate of WSSU and he devoted ten untiring years to the WSSU band program. In his honor,The Emory Jones Endowed Scholarship in Music has been established. The Winston-Salem State University Band is now under the direction of Dr. Michael Magruder. His no-nonsense approach to the band and primarily to the sound philosophy of the band has transformed the entire instrumental band program at WSSU. In the three years under Dr. Magruder the band program has continued moving forward. A quality sound along with a comprehensive musical philosophy has seen the WSSU band continue to grow and develop. The change has been significant, however future endeavors will undoubtedly be witness to the greatness which is yet to come.

Spirit & Tradition The pride of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference are the Winston-Salem State University cheerleaders, one of the finest competitive cheerleading squads in the nation. WSSU Red Team cheerleaders lead the crowds at all WSSU football and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball games while the WSSU White Team cheerleaders entertain the masses and create a highly charged atmosphere at all WSSU womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball contests.

Big Game Rivalries The Winston-Salem State University Rams seem to play a rivalry game every time they take to the court as conference play in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference is a heated affair, no matter the opponent. However, there are some rivalries that run deeper than others with none greater than the pair of in-state rivalries that pit the Rams versus the Aggies of North Carolina A&T and the Eagles of North Carolina Central.

Rams vs. Eagles WSSU and North Carolina Central storied rivalry that dates back to the 1945 season. Since then, the two teams first began a rivalry that has seen the two teams meet every season except for four in the history of the two programs. The Rams versus Eagles rivalry is second only to WSSU’s rivalry with N.C. A&T. WSSU and North Carolina Central are separated by only 87 miles of Interstate 40 as the campus of NCCU is located in Durham, N.C. The Rams and Eagles, both former members of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), have multiple conference championships, and both schools have earned NCAA National Championships in men’s basketball. The two teams met at the 2008 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship tournament in the MEAC Tournament Bonus Game on Championship Saturday. The Rams and Eagles will again face one another on Championship Saturday in 2009 in Winston-Salem, N.C. at the LJVM Coliseum.

Rams vs. Aggies The long-standing rivalry between the Rams and the Aggies is a bitter one that dates back to the two teams’ first meeting in 1947. The Rams’ transition to NCAA Division I has welcomed a renewal of the rivalry that had taken a 10-year hiatus from 1998 until 2008. WSSU and N.C. A&T are separated by only 31 miles of Interstate 40 as the Rams call Winston-Salem home while the Aggies’ campus is in Greensboro. The two teams have met twice every season for nearly the entire history of both programs. With the Rams’ transition to NCAA Division I play and membership in the MEAC, the rivalry is renewed with a pair of conference matchups between the two schools each season. The Rams vs. Aggies rivalry dates back to a time when both institutions were members of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). North Carolina A&T and WSSU split a pair of meetings last season as each team won at home in contests that were sold out well in advance of game day.

Rams in the Pros On August 8, 2008,Winston-Salem State Ram forward Darrell Wonge became the second former WSSU student-athlete to sign a professional contract during the summer of 2008 when he signed a contract to play basketball for the Tsusho Toyota Eagles in Nagoya, Japan. “I’m just happy that I got the opportunity to live out my dream of playing professional basketball,” Wonge said. “It was nerve-wracking at first especially after a number of other opportunities fell through, but I’m very grateful for the opportunity that I’ve received.” A 6-6, 210-pound forward, Wonge was noticed at a player’s showcase where dozens of players from both major and mid-major schools displayed their skills for a number of professional teams. The Fighting Eagles compete in the JBL2 League where the team recorded a 14-2 record during the 2007-08 season. During his career, Wonge totaled 845 points at WinstonSalem State with 408 career rebounds. Wonge enjoyed a breakthrough season as a senior when he averaged a careerbest 10.7 points per game and pulled in a career-high 150 rebounds for the season. A versatile player,Wonge also dished out 89 career assists and tallied 74 career steals. Wonge is the second former Ram to sign a professional sports contract in as many months with former WSSU defensive end William Hayes signing with the Tennessee Titans in July. Wonge departed for Japan on September 1, 2008 and is currently in the midst of his first professional season.

Clarence “Big House” Gaines Clarence “Big House” Gaines was a national coaching legend at Winston-Salem State University where he led the Rams to 18 20-win seasons and guided WSSU to eight Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) titles. In 1967, he led WSSU to a 31-1 record and coached the Rams, and future NBA star, Earl “The Pearl” Monroe, to an NCAA Championship, making the Rams the first basketball program from a historically black college or university to capture an NCAA national championship. Gaines was named the CIAA’s coach of the year a record five times during his 47year coaching career at WSSU. Over the span of those 47 seasons, Gaines compiled an overall record of 828-447, good enough to place fifth in wins in NCAA history behind Bob Knight (Texas Tech, Indiana and Army), Dean Smith (North Carolina), Adolph Rupp (Kentucky), and Jim Phelan (Mount Saint Mary’s). He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1982. Coach Gaines, the history-making coach, athletic administrator, mentor and friend passed away on April 18, 2005 at the age of 81 and has been missed by the WSSU family every day since. Clarence “Big House” Gaines is the fifth-winningest NCAA basketball coach of all-time. Coach Gaines is the winningest African-American NCAA basketball coach of all time.

Cleo Hill Former WSSU & NBA Star “He was a like a father to so many, and if you had a problem you could go to him, and he helped you out,” Hill said. “And he even helped you out after you were done playing there. He helped all of us as student athletes - athletically, academically and socially.”

Earl “The Pearl” Monroe Former WSSU & NBA Star He was Winston-Salem as far as all of us are concerned,” Monroe said from New York, where he starred for the Knicks in the 1970s. “He was somebody who never left Winston, and his heart was in Winston and with that university. Coach’s legacy will be more about how he helped create men and women while they were at Winston-Salem State. Coach knew that we all needed to get our diplomas so we could have careers outside of basketball. What I will remember most is that we were so close and played so well together - it’s something that I’ve never had on a team before or since.”

The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference About The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) expanded its membership to 12 members during the 2007-08 academic year, as the league voted to admit Winston-Salem State University into the league beginning at the conclusion of the 2006-07 academic year. “We are elated to welcome Winston-Salem State into the MEAC family”, said Commissioner Thomas at the time of the announcement. Obviously we think that WSSU is an outstanding academic institution with an excellent athletics program.” Winston-Salem is entering into the fourth year of its reclassification from Division II to NCAA Division I status. Despite the reclassification, WSSU began a full MEAC schedule in all sports beginning last season (2007-08). However the Rams and Lady Rams are not be eligible for MEAC Championship play until 2010-11 following completion of an NCAA site survey. Following the announcement that the Rams and Lady Rams would become the 12th member of the MidEastern Athletic Conference Winston-Salem Director of Athletics, Dr. Chico Caldwell explained how the move to the MEAC is one of several steps the institution is making in their transition to the next level. “First of all, as we prepared for the years ahead, and the move to Division I, one of the keys to the puzzle was membership in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference,” said Dr. Caldwell. “We felt that the opportunity to be a member of the MEAC would afford us a way of rekindling several of our longstanding rivalries and establishing others, and we are happy and pleased that the vote has gone in our favor and we look forward to our future competition in the MEAC.” The addition of Winston-Salem State marks the first expansion for the MEAC since 1997, when Norfolk State University became the 11th member of the league (Hampton University joined in 1995). WSSU becomes only the second MEAC institution located in the state of North Carolina and the third in the Carolinas, joining North Carolina A&T State University (Greensboro, N.C.) and South Carolina State (Orangeburg, S.C.). “Our goal is to become a strong and viable member of the MEAC in order to represent well within the conference, both regionally and nationally,” Dr. Caldwell added. “We truly believe that the MEAC is value-added to the direction of both WSSU and the WSSU Department of Athletics. Everyone here at WSSU, our alumni and supporters are truly excited about this opportunity.”

The MEAC is a Division I conference comprised of 12 historically black colleges and universities located across the Atlantic coastline. The league, established in 1970, is located in the Town Center of Virginia Beach,Va. in the Armada Hoffler Tower. Overview The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, an NCAA Division I Conference, is in its 39th year of operation heading into the 2008-2009 academic school year. Housed in the Armada Hoffler Tower at the Town Center of Virginia Beach, Va., the MEAC is currently made up of 12 outstanding, historically black institutions across the Atlantic Coastline: BethuneCookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, University of Maryland-Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, South Carolina State University and Winston-Salem State University. The MEAC has enjoyed great success over the years in athletics. Currently, the league has automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason play in baseball (since 1994), men’s basketball (since 1981), women’s basketball (since 1982), Division I-Championship Subdivision football (since 1996), softball (since 1995), men and women’s tennis (since 1998), and volleyball (since 1994). History In 1969, a group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, N.C. to discuss the feasibility of organizing a new conference based along the Atlantic coastline. A number of representatives from different institutions joined the steering committee in a two-day discussion about the new conference. Seven of these institutions agreed to become the MidEastern Athletic Conference: Delaware State College, Howard University, University of Maryland-Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, and South Carolina State University. The MEAC headquarters remained in Durham, N.C. until 1981, moving to Greensboro on Mar. 26, 1982 where it stayed for three years before relocating to its current location in Virginia Beach,Va. in 1985. The league was confirmed in 1970, kicking off its first season of competition in football in 1971. In 1978, the MEAC selected its first full-time commissioner, Kenneth A. Free, and the following year, expanded to nine schools with the admission of two Florida schools: Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University.

The MEAC operated with nine schools until 1985 when Coppin State College was admitted. The final expansions, prior to the most recent addition of WSSU, occurred in the 90’s with the inclusion of Hampton University in 1995 and Norfolk State University in 1997. On June 8, 1980, the MEAC was classified Division I by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the following month, received an automatic berth in the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship.

WSSU History Winston-Salem State University was founded as the Slater Industrial Academy on September 28, 1892. It began in a one-room frame structure with 25 pupils and one teacher. In 1895, the school was recognized by the state of North Carolina, and in 1897 it was chartered by the Slater Industrial and State Normal School.

From the beginning, the school has insisted upon the vital importance of elementary school teachers in building an improved citizenship. Emphasis has, therefore, constantly been placed upon the quality and quantity of training for these teachers. In 1925, the General Assembly of North Carolina recognized the school’s leadership in this field and granted the school a new charter, extending its curriculum above high school. The school changed its name to WinstonSalem Teachers College and empowered it, under the authority of the State Board of Education, to confer appropriate degrees. Winston-Salem Teachers College thus became the first Negro institution in the nation to grant degrees for teaching in the elementary grades. The Nursing School was established in 1953, awarding graduates the degree of Bachelor of Science.The basic nursing program covers four years of study with equal emphasis on academic and professional education. In 1957, the North Carolina General Assembly revised the charter of the college and authorized the expansion of the curriculum to include secondary education and any other specific types of training as directed and determined by the State Board of Higher Education. The North Carolina General Assembly of 1963 authorized the changing of the name of WinstonTeachers College to Winston-Salem State College. A statute designating Winston-Salem Teachers College as Winston-Salem State University received legislative approval in 1969. On October 30, 1971, the General Assembly reorganized higher education in North Carolina, and on July 1, 1972, Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) became one of 16 constituent

institutions of The University of North Carolina, subject to the control of the Board of Governors. Winston-Salem State University is located on 117 acres in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina, a city of over 190,000 residents. This thriving Twin City is part of the Piedmont Triad, which encompasses the neighboring cities of Greensboro and High Point. The Triad is one of the most heavily populated and fastest growing metropolitan areas between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, Ga. (U.S. Census Statistical Information). Winston-Salem State University is rapidly changing its “well-kept secret” status. The University has been ranked by U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Colleges and Universities” publication as one of the best public liberal arts colleges in the south for the last seven years. WSSU is perhaps best defined by part of the University’s mission statement which reads: “Excellent academic programs with a strong liberal arts foundation will be offered within a learning culture which exemplifies excellence in teaching and scholarship; emphasizes faculty-student interaction; promotes lifelong learning; and prepares individuals for leadership and service in the global society.” The present day Winston-Salem State University has come a long way from its humble beginnings as Slater Industrial Academy in 1892. WSSU now enrolls nearly 6,000 students, offers bachelor’s degrees in nearly 43 academic majors, master’s degrees in 10 programs, and employs nearly 250 full-time faculty and 400 staff members. It is accredited by the Commission on College of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. WSSU has a diverse student population with increasing enrollment of non-traditional and parttime students. On March 5, 1998 the University’s “Strategic Framework for Change” was unveiled to the Board of Trustees and the Winston-Salem community. The

document provides the context for transforming today’s Winston-Salem State University into one of the region’s finest public undergraduate institutions. Nursing at Winston-Salem State University offers a global health curriculum and international student and faculty exchange. Gottenburg’s University in Sweden, the Nightingale Institute at King’s College in London, the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland,Waterford Regional Technical College in Southern Ireland, and WSSU are all partners in this exciting venture. The pass rate for Winston-Salem State University nursing graduates on the state board examination is above 90 percent, one of the highest in the state of North Carolina and the highest among historically black colleges and universities nationally. During the summer of 1997, a team of scientists and students were lauded for the early detection of breast cancer. The project was conducted in collaboration with researchers at the University of Helsinki in Finland. WSSU also leverages partnerships with Duke University, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and National University of Singapore to expand research opportunities and curricula for students and faculty. WSSU’s GAMMA Center for computer graphics, animation and multimedia applications received national recognition in the 1998 edition of Animation Magazine’s Guide to Schools and Recruitment. In the 1990’s, Fortune 500 corporations increasingly recruited business, economics, and accounting graduates. Recently, the University’s student chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants was recognized in the national competition at the Association’s annual meeting. Sport Management at WSSU is one of the top undergraduate programs of its kind in the country and is seeking wider accreditation by the North American

Society for Sport Management and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. Therapeutic Recreation and Physical Education for Mature Adults at WSSU and across the nation are among the fastest growing health-related curricula. Only a handful of colleges and universities offer bachelors degrees in these disciplines, and even fewer are accredited by related professional organizations. WSSU is the only four-year university in the country and the only Historically Black College and University to offer a Bachelor of Science degree program in Motorsport Management; a unique opportunity for students to “learn the business, and grow the sport.” With plenty of opportunities for hands-on experience throughout the curriculum,studies within this major will prepare students for entry-level positions in motorsport operations, motorsport marketing, and event planning. WSSU has built great relationships with many racing venues and a required internship in the motorsports field provides students with experiential learning and serves as an avenue for enhanced career placement.

University Mission Statement Winston-Salem State University is a public university whose primary mission is to offer high quality educational programs at both the baccalaureate and master’s level for a diverse student population. Master’s level programs for professional study are also available from the university and through interinstitutional agreements. While the primary focus is on teaching and learning, the university encourages scholarship and creative activities by faculty and students, and engages in mutually beneficial relationships with a global community in ways that complement its educational mission.

The university is strategically positioned to provide unique opportunities for students through four centers of academic excellence in health services, teaching and learning, science and technology, and financial services. The instructional program comprises three components—general education, specialized education, and lifelong learning. General education provides for all students the academic foundations and cultural experiences essential to a liberal arts education. Specialized education provides students with the experiences necessary to master an academic discipline in preparation for employment and/or graduate and professional programs, including master’s degree programs offered at WSSU. Through the Division of Lifelong Learning, traditional and non-traditional students have opportunities for continuing education, distance learning, and summer programs that provide coursework for professional and/or personal enrichment.

Winston-Salem is one of the largest cities in North Carolina and Forsyth County is the state’s fifth largest county. The city also has the third largest per capita income in North Carolina ($32,028) ranking 68th nationally.

45 Although Winston-Salem was incorporated by merger in 1913, the community dates back to 1716, when members of the Moravian Church established Salem as the congregational town Wachovia acquired for the use of its settlers. The Moravians’ vision of creating a self-sufficient community made Salem a haven for entrepreneurs. Within a few years, the town included a pottery, tannery, brickyard, flour mill, bakery, slaughterhouse, brewery, iron works, and cloth and furniture makers. Salem’s manufacturing prowess gave it a prominent role as a supplier during the American Revolution and the Civil War. The city of Winston was founded immediately north of Salem to serve as the county seat when Forsyth County was chartered in 1849. The years after the Civil War catapulted the city to national prominence as a manufacturing center. The rise is often dated to the arrival of R.J. Reynolds in 1874. Reynolds was attracted by the quality of tobacco the area produced, but he wasn’t the only one; Brothers P.H. and J.W. Hanes had the largest tobacco factory in town and in all there were 15 tobacco factories by 1878. Later, the Hanes brothers would sell their tobacco company and start a dry goods (clothing) business, and Reynolds became the largest tobacco company in the United States. The success of these industries, and of the companies that supplied them, brought wealth to the community that fueled the startup of other successful businesses such as Piedmont Airlines, Krispy Kreme doughnuts,T.W. Garner Food Co. (makers of Texas Pete hot sauce), and Goody’s headache powders. Winston-Salem’s manufacturing base ensured a healthy banking industry; with deregulation, financial services have become an important component of the local economy. Today, Winston-Salem is home to BB&T making the city the eleventh largest banking center in the United States. Concurrent with the rise of banking in the 1980’s and 1990’s, the medicine and health care industries grew. Novant Health and the Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital Medical Center each operate 800bed regional medical centers that are the flagships for large, diversified medical services corporations. The rise of medicine has also spurred the city’s growth as a technology center. The Piedmont Triad Research Park, located in downtown, is home to 20 companies, including four biomedical companies spun out of research at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Under the leadership of former WSSU Chancellor Dr. Harold L. Martin, Sr.,WinstonSalem State University has made a large contribution and commitment to research in the PTRP. Winston-Salem has long been a leader in promoting the arts. The first arts council in the United States was incorporated here in 1949; currently the city ranks first nationally in per capita giving to the arts. Winston-Salem is home to the North Carolina School of the Arts, the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA), and the National Black Theater Festival.

WSSU’s NCAA Division I Reclassification The Winston-Salem State University Department of Athletics continues into the fourth year of a five-year transition to the NCAA Division I level in 2008-09 and will enter into their second year of membership in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). In a drive to support rapid growth and attain higher visibility, the Board of Trustees at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) approved a plan to seek reclassification of the school’s athletic programs to compete at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I level. WSSU, formerly a member of NCAA Division II, submitted an application to the NCAA seeking the change in classification on December 1 of 2004 as required by the athletic association’s bylaws. This step formally started a five-year process that culminates with WSSU teams and athletes gaining eligibility to compete for all Division I championships during the 2010-11 seasons. “Moving up to NCAA Division I advances our university’s strategic plan and will offer our talented student-athletes even more challenging competition,” said Dr. Harold L. Martin, Sr., WSSU’s former chancellor (and acting chancellor at the time of the announcement). “Specifically, competing on a bigger stage will elevate awareness of WSSU and our reputation for excellence regionally and nationally, while creating opportunities to generate even more revenue from our athletic programs.” In recent years, WSSU’s population has grown by 15 to 20 percent annually and now numbers nearly 6,000 students. This figure is expected to top 7,500 students by 2010. Reclassifying the university’s athletic programs is consistent with this emerging position as a much larger and nationally recognized institution.

Increasing funds available for athletic scholarships by four-fold to $1.6 million during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 academic years; these investments will enable WSSU to comply with NCAA Division I guidelines by granting the equivalent of at least 50 full-time athletic scholarships beyond those awarded for football and men’s and women’s basketball. Expanding the Athletic Department staff by 15, including nine full-time and six part-time positions; new-hires will include both coaches and administrative personnel.

“All Voices Heard” Board approval of the plan completed an exhaustive review and planning process that began in April 2003. Two task forces chaired by Dr. Percy “Chico” Caldwell, WSSU’s Director of Athletics, evaluated all aspects of the university’s athletics programs, including facilities, budgets, conference affiliation and level of competition, as well as the feasibility of and preparedness for advancement to NCAA Division I competition. Next, they developed recommendations that defined that plan. The broad-based committees included WSSU studentathletes, students, alumni and administrators, as well as renowned intercollegiate athletic officials, local business leaders, and Winston-Salem city government officials. “Successfully achieving NCAA Division I status, and then competitive excellence at this high level, will require passionate support from everyone in the WSSU family and our local community,” Caldwell explained. “We begin reclassification with confidence, knowing that voices of all WSSU stakeholders have been heard, and that our plan addresses their aspirations, needs, and concerns.”

The university remained a member of NCAA Division II through the 2005-06 seasons while beginning the reclassification process in what was deemed to be an “exploratory year”. During this period,WSSU maintained its status as a full member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), subject to agreement with conference officials and member institutions before moving to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference during the second year of the transition (2006-07).

Five-Year Process

Investments in New Facilities, Sports, Scholarships & Coaches

Following completion of the exploratory phase in 2006, WSSU demonstrated compliance with NCAA Division I guidelines for academic admissions standards, number of sports programs, gender equity, and financial aid. The school also submitted a strategic plan which they must update annually in each of the three successive years.

The reclassification plan approved by WSSU’s Board of Trustees calls for substantial investment in, and expansion of, athletic facilities, programs, and staff; actions necessary to comply with NCAA rules for Division I members. Specific plan elements include:

Legendary WSSU Coach, the late Clarence “Big House” Gaines addresses the crowd on July 7, 2004 when the Rams announced their intent to move to NCAA Division 1.

After submitting its formal application to the NCAA, WSSU entered into an “exploratory period” that spanned the 2005-06 academic calendar and athletic seasons. In this phase, the university continued to evaluate progress toward compliance with Division I requirements while retaining an option to end the process and remain a Division II member.

Spending $4 million over a five-year period to improve and upgrade athletic facilities; an additional $6.7 million to renovate the C.E. Gaines Center could be allocated through the university’s capital plan, which would expand total facilities investments to $10.7 million.

The 2006-07 and 2007-08 academic calendar years have been a success as the Rams have opened, and are in the process of opening, three new athletic facilities while at the same time have made significant additions to staffing, budgetary allocations, and scholarships. The Rams football and basketball teams have seen increased success at the Division I level and the WSSU Olympic Sports have steadily improved and proven to be successful in the ultra-competitive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

Adding six new sports, which will include: men’s and women’s indoor (added in 2006-07) and outdoor track & field (added in 2005-06) teams, baseball (2009), and women’s golf (2010).

In 2010-11, the fifth and final year of the process, WSSU will host a certification visit by NCAA officials and begin full participation in all Division I championships including men’s and women’s basketball.

WSSU Director of Athletics, Dr. Chico Caldwell, has been instrumental in helping to ready the Rams for the move to Division 1.

2007-08 Winston-Salem State University Athletics Year in Review In the storied history of Winston-Salem State University athletics, the 2007-08 athletic season was another dynamic chapter.With a dynamic cast of lead characters, supporting characters, and plenty of foes, this chapter of athletics history was an exciting one. There were highs, lows, and a lot of plot twists in this chapter of WSSU Athletics that made 2007-08 one of the most exciting seasons in the history of this university.

Volleyball The 2007 season brought a new cast of characters for the Lady Rams volleyball team and each had her own story to write in the 2007 chapter of this team’s history. Under the watchful eye of new head coach Douglas Hunter, the Lady Rams doubled last season’s win total and made some terrific strides. The Lady Rams posted a 4-26 record. It was the Lady Rams young guns that led the way with freshman Ashley Harris and sophomore hitter Annika Barnwell racking up kills for the Lady Rams. Barnwell finished the season as the team leader in kills with 227 this season, while freshman Ashley Harris added 210. Junior Valentina Pushkina coordinated the team’s effort leading the team in assists for the third season in a row. Manning the middle was sophomore blocker Georgette Allen, who led the team in blocks with 70 blocks in her first season as a Lady Ram. Not far behind was junior blocker Brandie Beane who totaled 41 this season. The future of Lady Rams volleyball is shaping up to be a bright one with all eight players set to return next season as they look to continue to tell the tale of Winston-Salem State Lady Ram volleyball.

Cross Country While it was the youngsters who led the way for the Lady Rams volleyball team, the 2007-08 WSSU Rams and Lady Rams cross country teams looked to their seniors to lead the way this fall. Junior Irene Jeptolo led the way for the Lady Rams as she literally led the Lady Rams in all eight meets this season and winning four of the team’s six races and placing in the top ten of every race this season. Not willing to give all the limelight to the junior, freshman Ariel Armstrong had the second best finish in five of the team’s six races. Her best finish of the season came when she placed fifth at the Old Northstate Championships at Hagan Stone Park. Junior Tomita Ferguson also turned in a solid season finishing 22nd in a time of 22:32. The Rams had a solid season as well with sophomore Brandon Howe and senior Kenneth Koech leading the way in all six of the team’s races this season. Howe had his best finish at the 36th Annual Men’s UNCP Invitational where he finished 13th in a time of 21:33.74. Koech’s most impressive performance came at the team’s season finale at Erskine College where he finished 18th in a time of 29:21 in the 8K event. With a well-established program and a bright future in hand, the Winston-Salem State cross country teams will be a force to be reckoned with.

Football One needed only to look at the gridiron to see the surprise team of the fall.The only ones not surprised by the Rams this season were the Rams themselves.The team was supposed to be the wide-eyed newcomer in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and was supposed to willingly accept their losses against their MEAC “big brothers”. But, the Rams didn’t play this one the way they were supposed to, just ask their foes. For the season, the Rams posted a 6-5 record. North Carolina A&T, Morgan State, Florida A&M, and Bethune-Cookman all got a taste of what the newcomers to the MEAC had to offer, but the highlight of the Rams’ season had to be the team’s 20-19 win over the three-time defending MEAC champion Hampton Pirates at Bowman Gray Stadium. The Rams made some great strides this season and showed members of NCAA Division I and the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference that the squad would be a force to be reckoned with both now and in the future. The fall of 2007 season was one for the ages for the Rams and Lady Rams and not only showed the strength of Winston-Salem State athletics in the present and reinforced the promise of what is to come. With such a great cast of characters wearing the beloved red and white, the future chapters in the story of Rams and Lady Rams athletics will be great ones.

Men’s Basketball The 2007-08 season was another step in the storied history of Rams basketball. The season saw the team’s past meet its future with some fantastic results. The Rams notched a 12-18 record with seven wins over Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opponents. The Rams also made themselves at “home” playing at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum and the LJVM Annex en route to notching a 9-6 record in home games this season. The Ram returnees made their presence felt all season long with junior forward Jamal Durham leading the way. For the season, Durham led the Rams with a 12.2 point per game average and provided numerous highlights with 34 thunderous dunks. Also great this season was senior forward Darrell Wonge, the team’ second leading scorer at 10.7 points per game.Wonge also scored a career-high 30 points against Hampton this season. Senior guard Roy Peake led the Rams with 95 assists and just 66 turnovers. The Rams also welcomed a great freshman class in 2007-08 with guard Isiah Tucker and center Paul Davis making some great early impressions for the Rams. The heir to the point guard throne made his presence known as freshman guard Isiah Tucker had a fantastic freshman debut and finished second on the team with 80 assists. Davis led the Rams’ defensive effort with 48 blocked shots this season. He also gave the Ram fans many reasons to get on their feet with some of the highlight plays of the season.

Women’s Basketball The 2007-08 basketball season was a season of growth for the Lady Rams. With seven freshmen and one senior, the Lady Rams were the youngest team in the nation, but never let it show on the court. Just ask Howard, Bethune-Cookman, and South Carolina State, who all took losses at the hands of the Lady Rams. For the season, the team finished 3-25. WSSU freshman guard Rene Rector led the way for the Lady Rams averaging 8.4 points per game and led the team with 67 assists and was second on the team with 35 steals. Also impressive was freshman center Nora Campbell, who returned from an early injury to become one the team’s top defensive performers with a team-high 37 blocked shots. Her 37 blocked shots were the fifth highest total for a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference player this season.

Bowling The 2007-08 bowling season was one of progression for the Lady Rams bowling team. The team got off to a bit of a slow start, but just like the ball rolling towards a strike, the team picked up momentum as the season went on. The Lady Rams finished the season with a 5-68 overall record, but saw their scores get higher and higher as the season went on. WSSU junior Lucy Graham led the way for the Lady Rams with a 137.1 average for the season as she scored a season-high 190 at the Morgan State Classic. She bowled in all seven tournaments for the Lady Rams and brought numerous team MVP honors.

Track & Field The Rams and Lady Rams track & field teams picked up where they left off last season and are leaving opponents in their wake behind them. The teams were stellar in both the indoor and outdoor competition this spring and continued to show their continued growth and development into a top notch program. Highlighting the 2008 season was senior Irene Jeptolo, who cemented her place as one of the best runners in school history with some stellar performances this season. She dominated the women’s 3000m steeplechase, winning the event twice and placing in the top ten in three of her four times she ran it. She also had an historic 12th place finish at the 115th Penn Relays; marking the first time in school history that a WSSU runner has placed in the event.

Her best performance of the indoor season came at the Eddie & Jo Smith UNC Classic when she ran a 7.74 in the women’s 60m dash, qualifying for the finals of the event. She saved her best time of the season for the home crowd at the Wake Forest Open where she ran a 12.06 in the 100m dash. The Lady Rams relay teams had some fantastic finishes as well this season.The women’s 4x100m relay team had its best performance of the outdoor season at the 2008 International Friendship & Freedom Games when the team posted a 47.89 time and a top-ten finish. The squad barely missed that time in their biggest stage of the season when they posted a 48.45 at the 115th Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The team also had a stellar offensive performance, batting .293 as a team and scoring 243 runs, 124 more runs than in the 2007 season. The team finished the season with a 10-10 record in home games, but struggled on the road with an 8-17 record. The Lady Rams softball program continues to grow with young talent. For the second season in a row, the Lady Rams were led in batting by a freshman.This season, it was freshman catcher Kayla Woodbury who led the way this season with a .403 batting average and 33 RBI.

The Rams had some of their best scores in team history with three players recording rounds in the 60’s and numerous WSSU roster members recorded rounds in the 70’s and 80’s.

Men’s Tennis The Rams tennis team continued to make strides with some impressive performances in 2008. The team finished the season with a 1-22 overall record. In spite of the overall record, the Rams were competitive in their matches posting close scores in each of them.

Bobby Collins

WSSU Head Basketball Coach, 3rd season 17-42 at WSSU (82-99 overall) The 2008-09 season will mark Collins’ third year as the head coach of the Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team as he returns to the bench following a challenging pair of seasons in the Rams’ transition to NCAA Division I status. Collins is coming off of a 200708 season that saw the Rams post a 12-18 record against many of the nation’s best basketball programs. Heading into the 2008-09 season, Collins has posted an overall head coaching record of 82-99 (17-42 at WSSU). Born: October 30, 1965 Family: Single Education: Eastern Kentucky University 1991 – B.A. in Business Administration Playing History: Four-year starter for the Colonels Ohio Valley Conference All-Freshman Team, 1987 Honorable Mention All-Ohio Valley Conference, 1988 Helsinki, Finland (All-Star Travel Team) Helsinki Classic Tournament MVP, 1991 Coaching Honors: Old Dominion University, 1994-95 Restricted Earnings Coach Hampton University, 1995-2002 Assistant Basketball Coach Hampton University, 2002-’06 Head Basketball Coach Winston-Salem State University, 2006-Present Head Basketball Coach

Collins led WSSU to five wins in his first season on the bench for the Rams as he opened his inaugural season as head coach at WSSU with a new coaching staff, new offensive and defensive philosophies and a brand new NCAA Division I classification. Under the tutelage of Collins, the Rams faced one of the most difficult schedules in the country as WSSU played only six home games and recorded 23 road games against 14 different NCAA conferences en route to logging over 25,000 miles of travel in 2006-07. Quality coaching and perseverance made history in 200607 as the Rams earned their first Division I win over a Division I program on January 18, 2006 when WSSU handed MEAC member Norfolk State University an 8171 defeat in their own building in Norfolk,Virginia. WSSU continued to write history as they faced 25 teams for the first time in program history as the Rams took to the court versus storied programs at Georgetown, Kansas, Notre Dame, Auburn, Wake Forest, and UAB. Collins led the Rams against four ranked opponents, three NCAA tournament participants (including Elite Eight

honoree Kansas and Final Four participant Georgetown), as well as three NIT participants. Year two on the bench for Collins saw a marked improvement for the Rams as WSSU posted 12 wins including seven victories over Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opponents. Among the seven conference victories included a sweep of Howard, a victory over MEAC-leading Norfolk State and a victory over arch-rival North Carolina A&T in front of a sold-out crowd of over 6,000 fans at the LJVM Coliseum Annex. Despite playing a full MEAC schedule, the Rams were once again road warriors as WSSU traveled to Ames, Iowa to participate in the Iowa State Cyclone Classic in a tournament that saw WSSU earn a victory over Atlantic Sun Conference runner-up Lipscomb as well as completing trips to Pittsburgh, Pa. to face national power Duquesne University; Manhattan, Ks. to face AP Player of the Year and second overall NBA Draft choice Michael Beasley and nationally-ranked Kansas State University; Tampa, Fla. to face Big East Conference member USF; as well as a late season trip to both Daytona Beach, Fla. (Bethune-Cookman) and Tallahassee, Fla. (Florida A&M). Despite the difficult non-conference road schedule, the Rams were able to more than double their win total in 2007-08 as WSSU earned 12 total wins and dropped seven more contests by a combined 34 points. Under the tutelage and leadership of Collins, the Rams continue to make strides not only in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, but on a national level as the young

of Iowa State University 58-57. And although a host of individuals have played a significant part in the uprising of Hampton basketball, Bobby Collins is as responsible as anyone. Consequently, Collins was named the 14th head coach of the Pirates on April 26, 2002. Collins, who joined the Pirate family 13 years ago, has previously served as the Assistant Head Coach for the Pirates’ men’s basketball team. Prior to his promotion to head coach, he was responsible for recruiting, handling admission and financial matters, preseason conditioning, academics and community relations. Collins earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration and management in 1991 from Eastern Kentucky University (EKU), where he finished as a four-year letterman on the Colonels basketball team.While wearing the Colonel uniform, Collins was a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) All-Freshmen Team and Honorable Mention All-OVC as a senior. Following his collegiate career, Collins played in the Helsinki, Finland Classic earning MVP honors.

Rams will not only complete a full MEAC schedule in 2008-09 but will start the season in the Bahamas as WSSU travels to Nassau to compete in a pair of exhibition contests before opening the regularseason at Georgia Tech, at Eastern Kentucky and at Wake Forest. Collins came toWSSU by way of Hampton University where he served as head men’s basketball coach for four seasons and was part of the Pirate’s basketball program for 11 years. In 2005-’06 Collins led the Pirates to a 16-16 overall record and a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship, as well as earning HU a berth in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. During that championship run Collins was honored as the Most Outstanding Coach of the MEAC Tournament. Collins’ third year (2004-05) at the helm of the Pirate’s men’s basketball program saw Hampton make their second trip in three years to the MEAC Tournament championship game earning Collins MEAC Coach of the Year honors. His sophomore season with the Pirates, he led the Pirates to a 13-17 record and an 11-7 mark in

the highly-competitive MEAC. Under the tutelage of Collins, Hampton saw two players earn AllConference honors. During his first season leading the Hampton University men’s basketball program, Collins guided the Pirates to within six points of their third consecutive MEAC Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. With a mark of 19-11 in his inaugural season, Collins became the winningest first-year head coach in the history of Hampton University basketball, surpassing Hall-ofFamer John McLendon’s mark of 17 victories that came during the 1952-53 campaign. Since making the move to Division I in 1995, the same year in which Collins became a part of the program, the Hampton University basketball program became the standard by which excellence is measured in the MEAC. The Pirates have won three Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championships and made three trips to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. During the 2001 NCAA Tournament, Hampton made history by becoming just the fourth 15th seed to defeat a No. 2 seed, overthrowing the Cyclones

Collins’ coaching career began as a restricted earnings coach with the Old Dominion Monarchs (1994-95). Under the leadership of former Monarch Head Coach, Jeff Capel, Collins aided the Monarchs to a Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) championship and a first round victory over Villanova University in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. Prior to his stint at ODU, Collins served as an admissions counselor at Eastern Kentucky University from 1992-94 The son of two non-denominational ministers, Collins is the youngest of 10 siblings. He is a native of Southern Pines, North Carolina, where he graduated from Pinecrest High School and helped his squad to an 18-5 and 20-4 overall record during his junior and senior seasons. In 1984, he earned AllState honors and was conference Player of the Year. Collins, who was named Winston-Salem State University’s sixth head men’s basketball coach on September 5, 2006, helped the Rams make history in his first season on the bench as WSSU participated in their first year of Division I play. He continues to lead a historic program that has captured 10 conference titles, and the 1967 National Championship. A relentless recruiter, Collins and his staff continue to bring talent to the campus of Winston-Salem State University and will welcome the addition of eight newcomers in 2008-09 as he prepares to help the Rams add a new chapter to the storied tradition of basketball at WSSU.

SEASON OUTLOOK When it comes to basketball at Winston-Salem State University, high expectations come with the territory. With a team history that includes a national championship, 10 conference championships and over 1,000 victories, there is a lot to live up to for anyone who dons the WSSU red and white. A strong showing in the 2007-08 season that saw the team more than double its win total from the previous season will give the Rams much more to live up to this season. The 2008-09 Rams are more than ready to live up to expectations. Led by an experienced group of returnees that include three starters and all of the team’s statistical leaders, this season’s Rams are ready to face the challenges of having a young team. “Right now, this is a young team,” Winston-Salem State head coach Bobby Collins has said. “We’re extremely young with Jamal Durham leading the way. We’re young, but talented and we’ll play hard.” The 2008-09 Rams will look to make defense a calling card of the program. Last season, the Rams’ opponents shot 43 percent from the field and held WSSU to 67.6 points per game. This season, the Rams will look to improve upon both of those numbers and have just the cast of players to do it with. “I’m excited about our team,” Collins added. “I know that we’re going to play hard on defense. We take pride in our defense.” The Rams return a talented group of players, but will also welcome a group of newcomers who give the Rams the depth needed to complete the team’s challenging schedule of games. Of the Rams’ 15 players (13 active), nearly half of the team will be newcomers to the squad. This season, the Rams will welcome seven first-timers to the roster. “We’ve got a lot of new guys, and hopefully, the returners can be leaders,” WSSU head coach Bobby Collins added. “But the best thing about this team is that they are good kids.” Leading the way for the Rams this season will be senior forward Jamal Durham, the team’s leading scorer last season at 12.2 points per game. An athletic talent and an aggressive player in the post, Durham played in all 30 games last season and started in 22 contests. Also returning from last season’s team was the team’s top defensive player in sophomore center Paul Davis. Davis led the Rams in both rebounding (6.1 rpg) and blocked shots (48). BACKCOURT Though talented, the Rams will feature a host of newcomers in the backcourt this season. There’s no need to be discouraged, however, as the Rams have an experienced pair of returnees that will look to be leaders among the young Ram guards. The tandem of sophomore guard Isiah Tucker and junior guard Brian Fisher lead the way for the Rams this season. Tucker is the team’s returning leader in assists with 80 helpers as a true freshman. Fisher returns as the team’s top scorer in the backcourt. Last season, Fisher averaged 9.1 points per game. The duo combined for 60 three-pointers made last season with both players hitting 30 three-pointers each. Tucker’s ability as a point guard was on display last season as the true freshman totaled 80 assists despite playing behind the WSSU career assists leader Roy Peake. Also one of the team’s top defenders, Tucker led the team with 42 steals. The sophomore will be poised for a breakout season in the 2008-’09 season as he takes the reins at the point guard position. Junior guard Brian Fisher should also give the Rams an offensive boost when he returns this season. Fisher has been an offensive weapon for his entire career with a strong offensive effort last season. Fisher was the team’s third leading scorer at 9.1 points per game. He reached double-digit scoring in 15 of the 29 games that he played in last season. He also poured in a season-high 20 points at Howard. A solid defender, Fisher finished second on the team in steals with 37 last season. This season, the Raleigh, N.C. native will be recovering from off-season surgery, but should be ready to go this season to give the Rams an offensive punch. However, the Rams’ backcourt will need to replace five guards from last season’s squad. This season, the Rams welcome six new guards with a mixture of talented transfers and freshmen. Junior guard Diontae Gibson is an athletic guard that will give the Rams a boost in the backcourt. A 6-2 guard from Mitchfield,Va., Gibson is an aggressive scorer who could give the Rams a scoring boost in the backcourt. Freshman Donald Sims is another true freshman who will give the Rams some needed depth in the backcourt.

OFFICIAL ’08-’09 74

Bringing much-needed height to the Rams’ backcourt will be freshman guard Michael Bonner from Hertford, N.C. The 6-5 guard from Perquimans County High School scored 11 points at the North Carolina Coaches Association North-South All-Star game and could give the team a needed lift as a guard or a small forward. The Rams backcourt will definitely be in capable hands during the 2008-09 season as a mixture of experienced veterans, newcomers, and transfer student-athletes will help the Rams try to brave a difficult non-conference schedule before jumping into the grind of trying to excel in the ultra-competitive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. FRONTCOURT The bulk of the Rams’ strength will return in the frontcourt with the squad returning its top forwards and centers from last season. Though the team will be without starting center Greg Lewis, the Rams return some of the top frontcourt players from 2007-08. Leading the way for the Rams this season will be senior forward Jamal Durham. Durham was the Rams’ leading scorer last season and was team’s second leading rebounder. The Winston-Salem, N.C. native is one of the most gifted athletes on the Rams’ squad. This season he will be counted on to be a leader for the young Rams squad. Last season, Durham reached double-digit scoring in 20 of the team’s 30 games, including scoring a career-high 25 points at South Caroline State. Not only an offensive threat, Durham was strong in the paint, leading the team in rebounding in nine games last season and finishing the season with a 5.6 rebounds per game average. He pulled in a season-high 13 rebounds at Coppin State and added a pair of 10-rebound efforts at South Carolina State and at North Carolina A&T. One of the most talented returnees for the Rams will be sophomore center Paul Davis, the team’s leading rebounder and shot blocker from last season. Last season, Davis averaged 6.1 rebounds per game for the Rams and led the team with 48 blocked shots. As a freshman, Davis was a force for the Rams at both ends of the court with three double-double games, including scoring a career-high 14 points with 11 rebounds against Norfolk State. Though he started just eight games, the Clio, S.C. native averaged 19.9 minutes per game as a true freshman. Also returning will be sophomore forward Corey Morris and junior forward McIntoche Alcius. The duo saw limited time last season, but gave the team some solid depth all season and both could work their way into larger roles this season. At 6-9, senior center Julian Murphy-Long is hard to miss. His leadership both on and off the court will be key for the Rams this season. After sitting out the 2007-08 season as a transfer from Lenoir-Rhyne, forward Jamar Slocum will give the Rams a strong physical presence in the paint. At 6-4, Slocum is a strong player who could give the Rams a boost at both ends of the court. SCHEDULE The 2008-09 season will offer a number of challenges for the Rams, who for the second season will play a complete schedule of Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) competition. Last season, the Rams were 7-11 against MEAC teams in their first season of conference play. The Rams will have a rather large set of challenges before they begin play against MEAC teams. WSSU faces three Atlantic Coast Conference teams before beginning the bulk of their MEAC play. The Rams will open the season at Georgia Tech and face rival Wake Forest before facing their first MEAC foe, the South Carolina State Bulldogs on December 6 in Orangeburg. The Rams will head to Raleigh, N.C. to take on the North Carolina State Wolfpack on December 13th as well. Another challenge for the Rams will be the large number of road games the team will play early in the season. After opening the season at Georgia Tech, the Rams will play seven more games in front of unfriendly crowds, including the three-game Illinois State tournament in Normal, Ill. over Thanksgiving weekend as well as playing former CIAA rival North Carolina Central in Durham, N.C in the first of what will be two meetings between the two teams. The team will play a complete schedule of MEAC games and will play host to the defending MEAC regular season champion Morgan State Bears and the defending MEAC Tournament champion Coppin State Eagles on the same weekend. For the second straight season, the Rams will face the North Carolina Central Eagles in a bonus game at the 2009 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Championship Tournament. This season, the tournament will be held in the Rams’ home city of Winston-Salem. The Rams will have a number of challenges ahead of them, but with the team’s strong cast of returnees and a talented class of newcomers, the 2008-09 Rams will definitely be up to the challenge.

2007-08 Season in Review While growth and change have become common in Winston-Salem State University athletics, no team demonstrated that growth more than the 2007-08 Rams men’s basketball team. In just their second season of NCAA Division I play, the Rams more than doubled their win total from the previous season and played a complete schedule of Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference games for the first time in school history. Though the season presented a number of challenges for the Rams, the team rose to the occasion and carried the program to new heights. The Rams got off to a slow start to the season when the team struggled to a 1-5 start to the season before breaking out for three straight home wins that got the team back onto a winning track. After taking a heartbreaking 78-76 overtime loss to the South Carolina State Bulldogs in the first game as members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, the Rams rattled off three straight home wins, defeating Georgia State, Alabama A&M, and Ferrum. The team continued to struggle on the road in losses to Kansas State and at the University of South Florida, but got back to their winning ways in a dominating 82-61 win over Columbia Union before renewing conference play in earnest. The Rams got conference play started with a bang, blitzing the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore Fighting Hawks, 105-59. The win marked the first time that the team broke the century mark since 2004 when the team defeated the Livingstone Blue Bears, 113-91 at the C.E. Gaines Center. Though the team would take a 66-59 loss to the Delaware State Hornets in their next contest, the Rams would continue to roll defeating the Howard Bison, 64-56. The win gave the Rams a 7-8 overall record, and was the team’s third win in their last six games. The team would run into some struggles against some of the top teams in the MEAC with three straight losses. The first was a tough 63-62 loss to the Hampton Pirates in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Rams then dropped a pair of road losses. The first was a 75-56 loss to the rival North Carolina A&T Aggies, followed by an 82-67 loss to the Norfolk State Spartans at Echols Hall in Norfolk,Va. Though the Rams would pick up a close 59-57 home win over the Florida A&M Rattlers, the team continued to struggle with three more MEAC road losses. After taking a 60-50 home loss to Bethune-Cookman, the Rams took a pair of road losses at Morgan State and at Coppin State. The Rams’ offense struggled in both games scoring a combined 85 points in the two games, including scoring a season-low 41 points at Morgan State. Down the final stretch of the season, the Rams picked up their play closing the regular season with a 4-4 effort. The Rams won three of their next four games, including a pair of huge wins. The Rams began the streak by avenging their previous loss to the North Carolina A&T Aggies with a 71-63 win at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum Annex. The win came in front of a sold out crowd of 4,200. The Rams also avenged their previous loss to Norfolk State with a 68-65 win over Norfolk State on Senior Night. Though the team took a 68-61 loss at Florida A&M to break the team’s streak, the Rams rebounded battling for a 76-71 double overtime win over the BethuneCookman Wildcats in Daytona Beach, Fla. The Rams would end the 2007-08 season on a down note, taking a pair of close losses. The Rams ended the regular season with a 73-71 loss to the South Carolina State Bulldogs in Orangeburg, S.C. and finally taking a 60-56 loss to former CIAA rival North Carolina Central in the bonus game of the 2008 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference at the RBC Center in Raleigh, N.C., the Rams and Eagles put on an exciting show that saw both teams show the grit and determination of the rival schools. The Rams and Eagles traded runs in the first half with WSSU leading the way for most of the half until an NCCU dunk with two seconds left in the half tied the game and capped an 8-0 Eagles run. The two teams continued their battle late into the second half as the final minute saw the Rams trailing 56-58 heading into the final minute. The two teams played stifling defense downt eh stretch of the game as a pair of NCCU free throws with 00:02 left to play were the only points scored in the final two minutes of the game. The loss would wrap up the Rams’ season at 12-18 with a 7-11 record against Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference teams. The season was one that the Rams that set the stage for a successes to come in Rams basketball. A SEASON OF HIGHLIGHTS The 2007-08 season was full of highlights for the Rams both as a team and for WSSU players individually. The season saw the Rams post a 9-5 record in homes games, including five-game home winning streak, the team’s longest since the move do NCAA Division I. The season also saw WSSU senior forward Darrell Wonge score a career-high 30 points against the Hampton Pirates. The 30 points were the most by a WSSU player since the team’s move to NCAA Division I.

Halftime: WSSU 21, Iowa State 28 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Iowa State-None Officials: Terry Moore, Kevin Mathis, Kipp Kissinger Attendance: 14,376 AMES, Iowa - Darrell Wonge scored 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc and Brian Fisher added another 11 points as Winston-Salem State pulled within five with less than three minutes to play, but it was not enough as Iowa State topped the Rams, 58-44, in both team’s season opener Friday night in Hilton Coliseum. Freshman Paul Davis pulled down eight rebounds in his collegiate debut, while Wonge and Fisher combined for 10 rebounds. Junior Jamal Durham added seven points and four rebounds. Winston-Salem State (0-1) took an early lead, 6-2, after Michael Puckett’s only three-pointer of the night and held a 13-12 lead at the 9:53 mark behind a pair of deep treys from Wonge. Iowa State (1-0) struggled to find their rhythm in the early going, committing five quick turnovers and four fouls and after almost three minutes without a bucket from either team, the Cyclones quickly turned their offensive struggles around. The Cyclones closed the first half on a 12-3 run for a 28-21 lead at the break. Fisher shot two treys in the opening minutes of the second half, as WSSU cut Iowa State’s lead to three, 30-27, and the Rams pulled within one, 32-31 at the 13:24 mark, after back-to-back baskets by Puckett and Durham. But the Cyclones responded by going on a 9-0 run to lead by 10 at the 9:40 mark. The Rams, however, would not go away as they climbed back to within five, 47-42, behind a pair of threepointers from Wonge with less than three minutes to play. The Cyclones then rallied with a 11-2 run to close out the game. WSSU shot 37.0 percent from beyond the arc on 10-of-27 shooting, including a 45.5 percent in the second half compared to Iowa State which went 0-12 on three-pointers for the game. Iowa State shot 41.1 (23-of56) percent from the field which gave the squad the slight edge as Winston-Salem State was held to 25.4 percent from the field.

Halftime: WSSU 29, Lipscomb 35 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Lipscomb-None Officials: Paul Janssen, Kevin Mathis, Kipp Kissinger Attendance: 3,356 AMES, Iowa – The Winston-Salem State University Rams used a second half comeback to erase a 35-29 halftime deficit as they outscored the Bison of Lipscomb 39-23 in the game’s final 20 minutes of play en route to a 68-58 victory in men’s college basketball action from the American Family Insurance Cyclone Classic in Ames, Iowa on Saturday evening. The Rams, playing in the second game of the 2007-08 season after falling in defeat to the host-team Cyclones on Friday evening, shot considerably better on Saturday evening at Hilton Coliseum as Winston-Salem State University hit 22 of their 53 field goal attempts (41.5 percent) in the victory. For the second consecutive evening the Rams shot well from deep as WSSU converted 53.8 percent of their three-point field goal attempts, hitting 14 of 26 attempts from behind the arch. The Rams benefited from four players who scored in double figures as fifth-year senior guard Roy Peake turned in a career-high 16 points on five-of-nine shooting from the field. Peake hit two of his six shots from three-point range and hit all four of his free throws in addition to pulling down four rebounds and dishing five assists. Peake was joined in double-figures by sophomore guard Brian Fisher with 14 points, and Michael Puckett and Isiah Tucker who each recorded 10 points in the win. The Rams held the Bison to 38 percent shooting from the field as the Rams allowed only one Lipscmb player to crack double digits in scoring as Jason Hopkins led the Bison with 12 points. With the win the Rams improve to 1-1 on the season while the Bison fall to 0-2 overall. WSSU returns to action on Monday, November 12, 2007 at 7:00 pm as they trave to Pittsburgh, PA to face the Dukes of Duquesne University at the AJ Palumbo Center.

Halftime: WSSU 29, Duquesne 43 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Duquesne-None Officials: Gene Steratore, Larry Scirotto, Ron Turner Attendance: 2,215 PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania - The Winston-Salem State University Rams fell victim to a hot team on Tuesday evening in chilly Pittsburgh, PA as WSSU could not match the intensity of the Duquesne University Dukes in a 93-63 loss in men’s Division I college basketball action at the AJ Palumbo Center. The Dukes, fresh off of their 70-point drubbing of Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference member Howard on Friday evening in Pittsburgh, PA (129-59) started the game hot as they jumped out to an early 10-3 lead over the first five minutes of play en route to a lead that they would never relinquish. Despite the early deficit, the Rams continued to generate offensive opportunities as WSSU head coach Bobby Collins went to his bench early and often in the first half of play as impressive first half performances from freshman forward Alcius McIntoche (Clayton, NC) and freshman guard Isiah Tucker (Raleigh, NC) helped to keep WSSU in the contest. McIntoche contributed four points and pair of rebounds in eight minutes of first-half action while Tucker led all WSSU scorers with eight points in the game’s first 20-minutes of play. WSSU would fall victim to a late Duquesne run as the host-team Dukes closed the half with an 18-11 run, a 7-3 stretch over the final 2:31 of play, as DU turned a manageable seven point advantage into a 14 point cushion headed into the locker room at halftime leading 43-29. The Dukes continued to increase their advantage in game’s final half of play as they used a 32-15 run during the first 10 minutes of the second half to turn a 43-29 game into a 75-44 game, effectively putting the contest out of reach for the Rams. The Rams hit only 35.3 percent of their field goal attempts in the second half, compared to the Dukes who converted better than half of their shots (17 of 30) as Duquesne ran their lead to as many as 36 points at the 4:48 mark of the second half en route to an easy victory. The Rams were led by Alcius McIntoche who recorded a career-high 13 points in the contest. He was joined in double figures by newcomers Isiah Tucker and Michael Puckett who recorded 11 and 10 points each, respectively. The Dukes were paced by Shawn James who led four DU players in double-figure scoring with 19 points. He also tallied a game-high four blocks in the win. The loss drops the Rams to 1-2 on the season while the Dukes improve to 2-0 with the victory.

Halftime: WSSU 20, Wake Forest 36 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Wake Forest-None Officials: Les Jones, Bernard Clinton, Charles Robinson Attendance: 10,147 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina – The Winston-Salem State University Rams shot 25 percent from the floor on Friday evening at the Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem, NC as they fell in defeat to the cross-town rival Demon Deacons of Wake Forest by the score 73-53 in the 2007 Twin City Shootout. The Twin City Shootout proved to be anything but a shootout as the two teams took nearly three and a half minutes to break a scoreless tie in the early going. Neither the Rams nor the Demon Deacons would shoot well in the first half as the two teams combined to hit only 16 of their first 54 field goals (29.6 percent). Wake Forest would outshoot the Rams during the first 20 minutes of play as the Demon Deacons connected on 10 of their 30 (33.3 percent) attempts from the field while the Rams hit only six of 24 (25.0 percent) shots. A team that entered the contest committing an average of 16 turnovers per game, the Rams gave the ball away 14 times in the first half as the Deacs recorded 13 points off of turnovers in the first 20 minutes of play taking a 36-20 lead into the locker room at halftime. “I told my team that we had to weather the storm of the Wake Forest defense during the first five minutes of the game, and as you saw, we turned the ball over about five times in the first seven possessions, and that hurt us. I mean, we turned the ball over 14 times in the first half and you can’t do that against a team like Wake Forest” head coach Bobby Collins said in post game interviews. Second half action would prove to be nearly a mirror image of the first half as the uncharacteristically sloppy play continued with the two teams combining for 11 fouls before the first media timeout at the 16:00 mark of the second half. The Rams would cut the Demon Deacons’ lead to as little as 12 points midway through the second half before WFU’s size advantage and depth would prove to be too much to overcome. “Again, we live and die by the three sometimes, and our shot selection hurt us badly in the second half. We need to try to get our big men some touches, and we didn’t do that well tonight.” Collins said. Leading the way for the Rams was sophomore guard Brian Fisher who recorded 18 points in a losing effort. Fisher was joined Darius Floyd who recorded his first double-double of the season with 12 points and 10 rebounds and Jamal Durham who tallied 10 points. Wake Forest was led by L.D. Williams who led three Demon Deacons in double-figures with 19 points and 13 rebounds.

Halftime: WSSU 32, Fresno State 27 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Fresno State-None Officials: William Covington, John Corio, Terry Moore Attendance: 998 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - The young Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team could not hold onto a 10-point lead on Tuesday evening at the Joel Coliseum as they dropped a 74-64 nonconference decision to the Bulldogs of Fresno State University. WSSU head coach Bobby Collins, who hinted at a lineup shakeup following the Rams’ loss to Wake Forest last Friday evening, made good on his promise as he inserted backup center Greg Lewis and sixth-man Darius Floyd into the starting lineup in place of forwards Jamal Durham and Paul Davis as Collins made the first starting lineup change in five contests. Floyd wasted no time in making his presence felt as he scored the first five points of the contest as WSSU jumped out to an early lead helping to ensure the Rams never trailed during first-half action. The Rams would increase their lead to as many as 10 points with 5:14 remaining in the first half before a late Bulldog run cut WSSU’s lead to a more manageable five points at the halftime intermission at 32-27 in favor of the Rams. The second half belonged to the Bulldogs as they came out of the locker room and hit five of their first seven three-point field goals as they claimed their first lead of the game at the 13:46 mark of the second half. The Bulldogs would increase their lead to as many as the final margin of 10 points as Eddie Miller hit a game-high seven three-point field goals en route to shooting 70 percent from three-point range as he tallied a game-high 25 points. WSSU’s Brian Fisher valiantly attempted to keep the Rams in the hunt for the win as he scored the Rams’ final eight points of the game in a losing effort. Five days on the road for Fresno State, and their only trip to the East Coast in 2007-08 did not seem to hurt the Bulldogs as they held built their lead to as many as 10 points and earned their fourth win of the season. “I told you guys that we would make a lineup change, and we did. Darius [Floyd] and Greg [Lewis] really gave us a lift with their energy tonight. It was night and day the way we played today versus Friday night. We really played well tonight and we played hard and this is a very good Fresno State team who got hot in the second half and that hurt us” head coach Bobby Collins said in post game interviews. Leading the way for the Rams was Darius Floyd who recorded a team-high 15 points in the loss as he was one of four WSSU players in double-figures. Eddie Miller led the Bulldogs with 25 points as he led three Fresno State players in double figures. The win improves the Bulldogs to 4-3 overall while WSSU falls to 1-4 with the loss.

Halftime: WSSU 38, South Carolina State 32 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, South Carolina State-None Officials: E. Upton, L. Truman, S.Young Attendance: 1,977 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - The outcome of the Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball contest versus South Carolina State would need overtime to be decided at the Coliseum Annex in Winston-Salem, NC on Saturday evening, but the SCSU Bulldogs would pull out a 74-70 come-from-behind victory to drop WSSU to 1-5 on the season. A first half in which Winston-Salem State shot an impressive 44.8% from the field (13 of 29 FG’s) saw the Rams post their best first half shooting display since WSSU hit 11-of-21 field goals versus Lipscomb on November 10, 2007 in WSSU’s first win of the season. The solid WSSU shooting helped the Rams to a lead which grew to as many as nine points midway through the first half of play as they hit field goals on three straight possessions to jump ahead of the visiting Bulldogs. The two teams combined for as many fouls as field goals as WSSU tallied 13 fouls and 13 field goals and SCSU recorded an equal number of fouls and field goals at 12 each. Neither team would capitalize from the free throw line in the half as WSSU and SCSU each shot under 54 percent from the charity stripe. Despite the numerous fouls and the free throw shooting struggles, the Rams would benefit from four threepoint field goals in the first half en route to taking a 38-32 lead at the halftime intermission. Second half action would stay just as tight as the game’s first 20 minutes as the South Carolina State came out of the locker room and quickly cut into the Rams’ six-point cushion. The Ram faithful would watch as a Jason Johnson lay-up with 7:33 left in the contest gave the Bulldogs the lead, their first lead since the opening basket of the contest. Despite losing the lead the young Rams showed composure as they would use technically-sound defense and transition baskets to re-take the lead at 58-57 headed into the final media timeout of the game. With the game clock winding down to less than one minute to play and with WSSU clutching to a 61-59 lead, the two teams would trade back-to-back turnovers as the 1,977 fans in attendance awaited the outcome. A Chris Miller-Williams turn-around jump shot in the paint tied the game at 61-61 with 18 seconds remaining in the contest setting up a tense final possession for the host Rams. WSSU’s Brian Fisher’s crafty behind-the-back crossover dribble set up the sophomore guards deep three point-field goal try as the Rams tried to earn a win in regulation. However Fisher’s shot found the back iron and the two teams were headed to overtime tied at 61. Overtime would be no different than regulation time as the two teams traded baskets and turnovers with neither team taking control of momentum. However it would be the Bulldogs who would break the pattern of poor free throw shooting, hitting four consecutive freebies to sneak out of Winston-Salem, NC with a 74-70 win.

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - Led by Michael Puckett’s team-high 15 points, the Winston-Salem State University Rams downed the Panthers of Georgia State University by the score of 67-61 at the Joel Coliseum on Saturday evening in Winston-Salem, NC.

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - The young Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team grew up in a hurry on Monday evening at the C.E. Gaines Center in Winston-Salem, NC as they overcame a 19-point first half deficit to defeat the Bulldogs of Alabama A&M University by the score of 78-76 in men’s non-conference basketball action.

For the third consecutive contest, WSSU head coach Bobby Collins started the game with a trio of seniors and a pair of sophomores taking the court as Greg Lewis earned his third start of the young season. Lewis immediately made his presence felt as the 6’7”, 255-pound forward converted an easy lay-up that gave the Rams a 4-1 advantage only 2:41 into the contest. The two teams hit the first three shots of the game before going cold as neither team was able to take control with the Rams and Panthers being separated by no more than three points during the game’s first 10 minutes of play. For the third time in 2007-08 the Rams headed to the locker room at halftime with a lead as WSSU held a five-point advantage at 33-28 after 20 minutes of play. Jamal Durham led all WSSU first-half scorers with nine points and three rebounds as he helped WSSU to a lead at the contest’s mid point. Second half action saw the Rams, a team that had lost the only two other contest that they had led at halftime in 2007-08, attempt to hang on to a halftime lead for the first time this season. As had been true to form through six games of the 2007-08 season, the Rams allowed an opponent back into the contest as Georgia State cut the WSSU lead to three points at 43-40 when Justin Billingslea converted a lay-up with 14:39 remaining in the contest. WSSU answered with a run of their own as the Rams mounted a 10-2 run that was capped by a Michael Puckett three-point field goal with 11:53 to play in the game as WSSU opened up their largest lead of the season, an 11-point margin at 53-42 as the Rams held an advantage that they would never relinquish. Leading the way for the Rams was Puckett’s 15 points. He was joined in double figures by Darius Floyd with 14 points and Jamal Durham who tallied 11 points in the win. The Panthers were led by Rashad Chase who tallied a game-high 18 points in a losing effort. With the win the Rams improve to 2-5 overall while the Panthers fall to 2-6 overall with the loss.

The Bulldogs started the contest on a 7-2 run over the game’s first three minutes as the Rams opened the game shooting only 31.3 percent from the field in the opening half of play. Trant Sampson helped the Bulldogs with 10 points in the game’s first 20 minutes of play as Alabama A&M used a 23-8 run over the span of 6:27 to turn a four-point game into a 19-point contest with only 2:31 remaining in the first period. Fifth-year senior point guard Roy Peake kept the Rams in the contest during the first half as he scored 15 of his career-high 18 points during the game’s first 20 minutes including scoring four of WSSU’s final six points of the half. The 11-point deficit marked the Rams largest halftime deficit since trailing by 14 points at Duquesne on November 12, 2007. Bobby Collins and the Rams used multiple lineup changes and defensive adjustments in the second half as game-plan changes immediately paid dividends for WSSU as the Rams used a half-opening 26-12 run that trimmed the AAMU lead to only three points with 11:36 remaining in the contest. WSSU continued to trim the lead as the hot shooting of Michael Puckett and the rebounding of freshman Paul Davis would eventually give WSSU their first lead of the contest at 66-64 with little more than eight minutes to play in the contest. The Rams, despite missing five of their last eight shots from the free throw line were able to hang on for the 78-76 victory in front of 1107 fans at the C.E. Gaines Center. Leading the way for the Rams was Michael Puckett with a career-high 19 points in the contest. He was joined by Roy Peake who posted a career-high 18 points in the win. Paul Davis chipped in with 10 points and a career-high 11 rebounds for WSSU. Leading the way for the Bulldogs was Trant Sampson with 18 points as he led four AAMU players in double figures in the loss. The Rams improve to 3-5 overall with the win as the Bulldogs drop to 3-5 overall with the loss. WSSU returns to action on December 19, 2007 at the C.E. Gaines Center as they play host to Ferrum College at 7:00 pm.

Halftime: WSSU 35, Ferrum 27 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Ferrum-Coach Officials: Dwayne Gladden, Donnie Eppley, Gregg Durrah Attendance: 711 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - The Winston-Salem State University Rams survived a scare on Wednesday evening at the C.E. Gaines Center in Winston-Salem, NC as they defeated Ferrum College by the score of 61-55 en route to winning their third consecutive game for the first time since the 2005-06 season. The Division I Rams fell behind to the Division III Panthers early in the contest as WSSU allowed Ferrum to open the game on an impressive 10-3 run over the course of the first six-and-a-half minutes of the contest. It would take the Rams, a team playing their second game in three days, nearly 15 minutes to gain their first lead of the half, at 22-20, when fifth-year senior point guard Roy Peake hit a lay-up with 5:11 remaining in the first period. “It is a dangerous situation, games like these” WSSU head coach Bobby Collins said in postgame interviews. “They have nothing to lose and we have everything to lose. We are supposed to win these games and if they win the game they have accomplished something special.” The Rams would immediately build upon their lead using 14 first-half bench points to take a 35-27 lead at halftime. Without the services of starting guards Darius Floyd (8.6 ppg and 2.4 rpg) and Brian Fisher (10.8 ppg and 4.5 rpg) who sat on the bench in street clothes due to injury, the Rams experienced difficulty with the pesky Panthers in the second half.

Halftime: WSSU 31, Kansas State 39 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Kansas State-None Officials: Bill Kennedy, Rob Wolff, Kipp Kissinger Attendance: 4,495 MANHATTAN, Kansas - The hype proved correct on Saturday evening in Manhattan, Kansas as Michael Beasley recorded a career-high 40 points and led the Kansas State University Wildcats past the WinstonSalem State University Rams 90-48 in men’s non-conference basketball action from Bramlage Coliseum. It took a while for the Rams to get warmed up as the first three Winston-Salem State possessions resulted in turnovers with the Rams unable to break their scoring drought until Michael Puckett converted a free-throw after four minutes and one second of play with 15:59 remaining in the first half. The host Wildcats had troubles of their own as K-State missed their first four shots of the contest as both teams combined to miss the first eight shots of the game. After four minutes of shooting difficulties, the two teams were able to get on track as the Rams and ‘Cats combined to put 27 points on the scoreboard over the contest’s next three-and-a half minutes.

WSSU pushed their lead to a game-high 11 points following the opening possession of the second half only to see Ferrum hang around long enough to retake the lead at 53-51 with 5:19 remaining in the contest.

Second half action belonged to the Wildcats as the 6’10”, 235-pound Michael Beasley put K-State on his shoulders and nearly single-handedly willed them to victory.

To The Rams’ credit,WSSU would close the contest on a 10-2 run over the final five minutes of play, eventually earning their fourth win of the season as they improved to 4-5 overall with the 61-55 victory.

Beasley and the Wildcats opened the half with 29-10 run over the first nine minutes of play as K-State increased their eight-point halftime lead to a 27-point cushion.

The win moves the Rams to within one game of .500 at 4-5 overall while the Panthers fall to one game below .500 at 4-5 with the loss.

The run would be sparked nearly entirely by Beasley as the freshman forward was responsible for scoring 24 of K-State’s 29 points during the run en route to his career-high 40 point showing.

WSSU was led by Michael Puckett and Isiah Tucker who recorded 16 points each in the victory. Ferrum was paced by Jon Godsey who recorded 16 points in a losing effort.

Still reeling from the K-State offensive explosion, the Rams righted the ship and were able to successfully execute their offense, yet the damage had been done and WSSU was unable to mount a serious challenge for the remainder of the contest ultimately falling in defeat by the game’s final 42-point margin. WSSU was led by Brian Fisher’s 13 points in the loss. Jamal Durham and Isiah Tucker were also impressive for the Rams with nine and eight points respectively. Beasley led the ‘Cats with 40 points on 14-of-22 shooting from the field including a three for four evening from behind the three-point arc. He added 15 rebounds and an assist to his total in 23 minutes of play.

Halftime: WSSU 31, Columbia Union 26 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Columbia Union-None Officials: William Cheek, Dwayne Carnes, Tony Crisp Attendance: 175 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - Ten days off from game competition did not seem to matter on Wednesday evening as the Winston-Salem State University Rams cruised by visiting Columbia Union by the score of 82-61 at Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in men’s college basketball action. Playing in their first game action of the New Year, and their first competition since a December 29 loss at the University of South Florida, the Rams completely out-matched the Pioneers of Columbia Union en route to their fifth win of the season, a total that equals their five-win season of 2006-07.

Last season it was the Bulls’ McHugh Mattis’ triple-double that sealed the Rams fate when Mattis’ 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocks proved insurmountable as USF won the inaugural meeting between the two teams.

The Rams’ extended layoff was apparent during the first 20 minutes of action as WSSU converted only 12 of their 32 first half field goals.

Saturday evening in Tampa is was Kentrell Gransberry’s 21 points, 14 rebounds, and two blocks that proved to be the Rams undoing. Gransberry’s 21-point output led the Bulls who used 20 second chance points to secure a win in a contest that was anybody’s game throughout the entire first half.

The 37.5 percent shooting in the first half translated into WSSU leading by only five points at the halftime intermission as they steadfastly clung to a 31-26 lead heading into the break.

The Rams, a team that has been outrebounded in 10 of their 11 contests this season, were out-boarded by the Bulls by 22 rebounds as the Rams fell to 4-7 overall in 2007-08 and drop to 3-7 when losing the rebound battle. Despite their rebounding woes, the Rams trimmed USF’s 11-point first half lead to only five points with 1:08 to play in the first period behind three drawn charges and aggressive defense. Unfortunately for the Rams the final 1:08 of the half and nearly the entire second half belonged to the Bulls. USF used a 5-0 run to close the half en route to taking an 11-point cushion to the locker room leading 32-21. The Bulls wasted no time in picking up where they left off at the halftime intermission as a 6-0 start to the period would prove to be the harbinger of things to come. The Bulls would shoot nearly 62 percent in the final period and would go on to outscore the Rams 55-27 in the half en route to cruising to the 39-point victory. Leading the way for the Rams was Jamal Durham who recorded a team-high 13 points for WSSU in the loss. He was joined by Darrell Wonge who recorded 11 points in the loss as he bounced back from the only scoreless performance of his career in the Rams’ last game (a loss at Kansas State on Dec. 22). Kentrell Gransberry led the Bulls with 21 points as he led three USF players into double-figures in scoring. The loss drops the Rams to 4-7 overall on the season while USF improves to 9-4 overall.

Second half action belonged entirely to the Rams as Winston-Salem State significantly improved their shooting percentage as they converted nearly 57 percent of their field goal attempts, hitting 18 of 32 shots in the period. The Rams used a season-high 42 points in the paint, including seven dunks, to outmatch the Pioneers as WSSU easily outscored Columbia Union 51-35 in the second half of play. Winston-Salem State opened up their largest lead of the game when they mounted a 15-0 run over the span of five minutes of play that was capped by a thunderous Jamal Durham dunk, his fourth dunk of the contest, that gave the Rams a 71-41 lead with 5:17 remaining. WSSU head coach Bobby Collins called off the dogs shortly thereafter and emptied his bench as 12 WSSU players would record playing time in the game with 10 Rams scoring. Leading the way for WSSU was Jamal Durham who recorded a game-high 17 points as he led WSSU in scoring for the third time this season. Durham was joined by Darrell Wonge and Brian Fisher who scored 16 and 13 points in the win, respectively. Freshman Paul Davis turned in another solid performance for the Rams as he tallied eight points and 12 rebounds in the win. Leading the way for the Pioneers was Dana Clark who recorded 22 points as he led three Columbia Union players into double-figure scoring. The win improves the Rams to 5-7 overall and drops the Pioneers to 0-14 on the season as Columbia Union remains winless.

Halftime: WSSU 49, UMES 28 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, UMES-None Officials: Emanuel Upton, Lawrence Truman, Scott Young Attendance: 314 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - The Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team jumped out to an early 12-2 lead and never looked back as they easily ran past the visiting Hawks of the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore by the score of 103-57 on Saturday evening at Joel Coliseum. The Rams controlled the contest from the opening tip to the final buzzer as they played their most complete game of the 2007-08 season and ran their win streak to two games in a contest that saw WSSU score 100 points for the first time since a 103-80 win over Knoxville that came on December 2, 2005. WSSU head coach Bobby Collins, who improves his overall record versus UMES to a perfect 9-0 watched as Jamal Durham turned in the best single-half performance by a Ram this season as he tallied 17 points and six rebounds during the first half in only 17 minutes of play. The junior forward would hit seven of his 10 field goal attempts, one of his two three-point field goal attempts, both of his free throws and would chip in with six rebounds, five on the defensive glass, as he led the Rams to a 21-point halftime lead at 49-82, WSSU’s largest halftime lead of the season. Playing in his 100th career game for the Rams, and making the 70th start of his career, Roy Peake led seven WSSU players with double-digit minutes in the first half with 18 minutes of playing time as he and his teammates shot a scorching 53% from the field. Hawks fans looking for a second-half UMES comeback would be sorely disappointed as the Rams would score 55 points in the contest’s final 20 minutes of play en route to the easy 103-59 victory, WSSU’s most lopsided win of the season. Leading the way for the Rams was Durham with a season-best 25 points as he would lead four WSSU players into double-figures in scoring. Joining Durham in double-digits were three other WSSU players as Darrell Wonge, Brian Fisher and Isiah Tucker tallied 18, 12 and 16 points respectively. UMES was led by Ed Tyson who tallied 21 points and eight rebounds in the loss. With the win the Rams improve to 6-7 overall on season while the Hawks fall to 2-13 on the season with the loss.

Halftime: WSSU 30, Delaware State 36 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Delaware State-None Officials: Alvin Cox, Sr., Haywood Bostic, Jr., Mike Direnzo Attendance: 1,271 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - It was not to be on Monday evening at the Coliseum Annex in Winston-Salem, NC as WSSU fought for 40 minutes against one of the MEAC’s best teams in a bid to even their record at .500 but came up just short, ultimately falling in defeat to the Delaware State University Hornets by the score of 66-59. The game’s first 20 minutes of play saw the lead change hands eight different times and found the teams deadlocked in a tie on four occasions as the two teams proved to be evenly matched, despite the relative youth of the WSSU roster. Neither team would lead by more than six points during the first period as both squads shot better than 46 percent from the field in front of a boisterous crowd at the Coliseum Annex on a day that the WSSU students returned to class from their holiday recess. A late-half push would enable the visiting Hornets to take a six-point lead, their largest lead of the half, to the locker room for the halftime intermission as they led 36-30 after 20 minutes of play. Darrell Wonge, WSSU’s senior forward, would again turn in a stellar single-half performance as he would lead all WSSU scorers with 10 points. However, Delaware State’s Roy Bright would eclipse all other scorers with 17 points in the first 20 minutes on six-of-eight shooting from the field, a performance that included three three-pointers. Despite Bright’s first-half heroics, the Rams would again prove that they are a force to be reckoned with in the thick of the MEAC race as WSSU retook the lead only minutes into the second half. A Jamal Durham dunk on a feed from Roy Peake enabled the Rams to retake the lead with 15:19 remaining in the contest as WSSU needed less than five minutes to battle back and erase the DSU lead. The Hornets, a veteran-laden team would prove to be unfazed by the Rams’ fortitude as back-to-back-to-back three-point field goals would immediately give DSU back the lead, this time for good. Delaware State would increase their lead to as many as 10 points over the final seven minutes of play en route to the 66-59 victory. Leading the way for the Rams was Darrell Wonge who finished with a tea-high 18 points as he led three WSSU players into double figures. Joining Wonge in double-figures was Jamal Durham and Brian Fisher with 14 points and 10 points respectively. Delaware State was paced by Roy Bright who led all scorers with 24 points in the contest. With the loss the Rams fall to 6-8 on the season while the Hornets improve to 4-9 overall with the win.

Halftime: WSSU 35, Howard 31 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Howard-None Officials: Seth Fitch, Carl Blair, George Crocker, Jr. Attendance: 1,023 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - Another solid team effort, another win. That is the modus operandi for the Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team as of late and Saturday evening at the Joel Coliseum it was no different as seven WSSU players had at least seven points as the Rams ran past the Howard Bison 64-56 in a MEAC men’s basketball contest. The Rams never trailed in the contest as they jumped out to an early lead, leading by as many as 11 points during the first 20 minutes of play. Senior forward Darrell Wonge would assure himself of his fifth consecutive double-digit scoring effort as he tallied 11 points during 17 minutes of playing time in the first half as he helped his Rams to a four-point lead at 35-31 headed to the locker room at the break. Second half action would nearly mirror the first 20 minutes of play as the Rams increased their lead to a game-high 12 points and the game’s eventual outcome would never be in doubt as WSSU earned their seventh win of the season. Wonge would go scoreless in the second half as he would concentrate his efforts on the offensive glass en route to pulling down five total rebounds in the eight-point WSSU win. Joining Wonge in double figures for WSSU was Jamal Durham and Brian Fisher who tallied 12 and 10 points respectively. The double-digit scoring effort from Durham would mark his fourth consecutive double-digit scoring output. Leading the way for the Bison was Eugene Myatt who tallied 14 points in a losing effort. Myatt was joined by Randy Hampton (11) and Paul Kirkpatrick (10) who each recorded at least 10 points in the loss. With the win the Rams improve to 7-8 overall (0-0 MEAC) while the Bison fall to 4-13 overall (1-3 MEAC) with the loss.

Halftime: WSSU 37, Hampton 33 Technical Fouls: WSSU-1, Hampton-1 Officials: Les Jones, Earl Walton, IV, Emaual Upton Attendance: 1,472 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - Despite recording the first 30-point game in the Rams’ Division I era, WSSU senior forward Darrell Wonge’s three-point try fell just short of the mark on Monday afternoon as Hampton escaped the Joel Coliseum with a 64-62 victory in men’s collegiate basketball action between two bitter rivals. Despite the coach speak from both head coaches leading up to Saturday’s meeting, the action on the court spoke volumes about just how important a victory on Monday meant to both programs as the game would feature two intentional fouls and a pair of technical fouls in a highly emotional contest. WSSU head coach Bobby Collins, a man who led the Pirates to the 2006 MEAC title, three MEAC title appearances, and an NCAA Tournament berth in his four years as the head man at Hampton led his young Rams into the first meeting between the two programs in 12 seasons and nearly beat his former team, a team laden with talent that he was responsible for bringing to the Hampton,Virginia campus. Despite the loss on Monday, Collins has already proven that he has laid the foundation of a winning Division I program at WSSU as the Rams nearly knocked off the Pirates, a team that has posted an undefeated conference mark at the midway point of the season, and a team that many college basketball insiders feel will cruise to the conference crown. “I’m proud of the way our kids played. We played hard against a very good team and just had some trouble finishing at certain times. If this is any indication of how good we can eventually be, then I am more than pleased. This [Hampton team] is the MEAC’s best team and we played them right down to the buzzer tonight. We are getting there” Collins said in post game interviews. The Rams would hold a four-point halftime advantage and ride that cushion deep into the second half before the Pirates tied the contest at 58-58 with just over three minutes to play. A layup by Michael Freeman put Hampton up for good with 93 seconds to play as the Rams fell just short of knocking off the Pirates. The Rams were the benificiaries of the first 30-point game by a WSSU player in the Division I era as Darrell Wonge tallied a career-high 30 points on 11-of-18 shooting from the field as he very nearly led his Rams to a win. Wonge would be the only Ram to record a double-digit scoring total as Jamal Durham checked in with nine points and four rebounds. Leading the way for the Pirates was Rashad West, who despite a difficult three-of-16 shooting performance from the field was able to pace Hampton with 17 points, 11 of which came from the free throw line. West led four HU players into double-digit scoring as the Pirates were held to 37.3 percent shooting by the Rams who forced 21 turnovers from HU, a team averaging only 13 turnovers per game. The loss drops the Rams to 7-9 overall while Hampton improves to 10-6 (4-0 MEAC) with the win.

NORFOLK, Virginia - Despite four of five Ram starters recording double-digit scoring performances, the Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team fell to 0-7 on the road on Monday evening as the Norfolk State Spartans handed WSSU a 82-67 defeat at Echols Hall in a MEAC men’s basketball league contest.

GREENSBORO, North Carolina - The Aggies of North Carolina A&T put the woes of the past two football seasons out of their minds on Saturday afternoon at the Corbett Center in Greensboro, NC as they won the first of this season’s pair of men’s basketball “Battle of I-40’s” as they downed the visiting Rams of Winston-Salem State University 75-56 in front of a sold out-crowd of over 7,000.

Freshman forward Paul Davis showed no ill-effects of the walking boot that he has been wearing for the last week as the 6’10” forward led the Rams with nine points and eight rebounds during the first 20 minutes of play including four points and five rebounds in the game’s opening five minutes.

The Rams, winners of back-to-back “Battle of I-40” football victories over NC A&T fell victim to a hotshooting Aggie team playing in their vibrant home court on Saturday. The Aggies and Rams, rivals from the days when both were members of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) took to the court to meet for the 64th time in history in a contest that the NC A&T Facilities Management personnel had to stop admitting fans more than 20 minutes prior to tip-off. North Carolina A&T wasted no time in proving why ESPN.com rated the Corbett Center the 21st hardest place to play in the nation as the Aggies came out of the locker room flying as they shot nearly 66 percent from the field during the game’s first 15 minutes of play, a span over which they were able to open up a game-high 24 point lead. Sparked by the raucous crowd the Aggies’ Steven Rush tallied 17 first-half points including five three-point field goals as he helped NC A&T to what would be an insurmountable lead. While the Aggies were hitting everything that they threw at the basket, the Rams were busy missing 25 of their first 33 field goal attempts en route to a 24.2 percent first-half shooting performance. WSSU’s last first-half field goal came with nearly two minutes remaining on the clock as the Aggies took an 18-point advantage into the locker room at halftime leading 41-23. The Rams would get no closer than 13 points for the remainder of the contest as WSSU never got their outside game going as they missed 19 of 22 three-point field goal attempts in the game. Rush led all scorers with 23 points as he paced four Aggie players in double-figures. Joining Rush in double figures were Austin Ewing and Jason Wills with 12 points each and Trahern Chaplin with 10 points. Leading the way for the Rams was Jamal Durham who tallied a team-high 17 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. Durham was the only Ram to record double digits in points in the contest. The win moves North Carolina A&T to 9-9 overall (3-2 MEAC) while the Rams fall to 7-10 overall with the loss. WSSU head coach Bobby Collins’ head coaching record versus the Aggies drops to 7-2 in the process. Despite the loss the Rams continue to own a six game advantage in the all-time head-to-head series as they lead the Aggies 35-29.

Paced by the play of Davis, the Rams opened up a five point lead after only seven-and-a-half minutes with WSSU controlling the paint using an aggressive up-tempo defense that stunned the home-team Spartans. Controlling the paint would prove to be a double-edged sword for the Rams as the hot-shooting Michael Deloach, Norfolk State’s valuable sixth-man, was able to connect on two of his three shots from long range en route to a half-high 12 points as the Spartans erased the WSSU lead. The long-range output from Deloach, a player who averages nearly 12 points per game off of the bench, forced the Rams to pressure the perimeter and enabled the taller Spartans to move the ball into the low post to use their sizeable height advantage. That size advantage earned the Spartans 20 points in the paint during the half as NSU turned a five-point deficit into an 18-point advantage over the next eight-plus minutes of play, eventually taking a 14-point lead at the half leading 43-29. A pair of early buckets to start the half saw WSSU cut the Spartan lead to only 10 points as the Rams mounted what appeared to be a comeback. Three consecutive turnovers would plague the Rams and NSU would use six quick transition points as they pushed the lead back to 16 points as the Spartans never allowed WSSU to get closer than eight points for the remainder of the contest. For the first time in 2007-08 four WSSU starters recorded double-digit scoring outputs. Leading the way for the Rams was Isiah Tucker who tallied 16 points in the loss. Jamal Durham chipped in with 15 points, Darrell Wonge recorded 14 points and Paul Davis recorded his second double-double of the season with 12 points and 12 rebounds in 24 minutes of work for the Rams. Leading the way for the Spartans was Michael Deloach who recorded a game-high 23 points in the win as he turned in a nine-of-twelve shooting performance from the field. The loss drops the Rams to 7-11 overall while the Spartans improve to 9-9 overall (5-1 MEAC) with the win. The loss is WSSU’s third straight defeat and marks the Rams’ first three-game skid since a four-game losing streak in late November.

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina – Winston-Salem State University head coach Bobby Collins made significant changes to his starting lineup on Saturday evening as the Rams snapped a three-game losing streak by defeating the Florida A&M Rattlers at the Joel Coliseum Annex by the score of 59-57 in an important MEAC men’s basketball league contest.

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina – The Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team was unable to overcome a tenacious Bethune-Cookman University squad and a 26-point offensive explosion by Dewayne Pettus as they fell in defeat to the Wildcats 60-50 at the Joel Coliseum Annex.

WSSU’s leader used his ninth different starting lineup of the season as senior point guard Roy Peake failed to start for the first time in 21 consecutive games.

Pettus, a 6’2”, senior guard from Pittsburgh, PA proved to be too much for the Rams as he nearly singlehandedly lifted the Wildcats to the win with a career-high 26 points, all but 11 of which came in the second half.

Second on the WSSU all-time assist chart with 428 helpers, Peake leads the Rams with 75 career starts and as not missed a game in his 106-game career at Winston-Salem State, yet the senior guard did not start on Saturday evening as sophomore Darius Floyd started in his place.

Winston-Salem State, though trailing 27-26, and down by only one point at the half, found themselves on the unfamiliar end of a rebounding and shooting disparity as the Wildcats took 10 more first-half shots and pulled down 11 more first-half rebounds than the usually aggressive Rams.

Floyd, a starter for much of last season before injuring his ankle late in the year, scored 12 points and pulled down seven rebounds for the Rams in the victory yet it was Peake who would seal the win for the Rams with a late-game block.

Despite trailing 26 shots to 16, the Rams hit 56.3 percent of their field goal attempts in the first half of play and withstood nine second-chance points by the visiting Wildcats as they found themselves embroiled in a contest in which the lead changed hands five times during the first 20 minutes of play.

Leading by two points with under six seconds remaining, Peake missed the front end of a one-and-one that could have sealed the Rattlers’ fate and followed it with a block on Leslie Robinson’s game-winning threepoint attempt as time expired as WSSU held on for a dramatic two-point victory.

Carried by the play of their senior guard, the Wildcats pushed their lead to 10 points midway through the second half as Pettus scored 14 of Bethune-Cookman’s first 17 points in the period.

Coming off of the bench, Peake was one of five Rams’ players that recorded 30 or more minutes in the contest. He scored five points and pulled down three rebounds as he led WSSU to a win.

Plagued by difficulties on the defensive glass the Rams were outrebounded nearly two-to-one (38 to 21) and allowed the Wildcats numerous second-chance opportunities yet WSSU was still able to trim the BCU lead to a manageable six points with just over three minutes remaining in the game.

“I got a piece of it at the end, and after missing the first free throw, I felt that I had to make up for it with my defense” Peake said in post game interviews.

It would prove not to be enough for the Rams as Joey Woods scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half as BCU escaped from Winston-Salem, NC with a 10-point victory.

The Rams would lead by as many as 15 points in the contest as they snapped a three-game losing streak. The loss snaps the Rattlers’ three-game win streak.

Pettus led all scorers with 26 points, a career-high. He tallied seven rebounds and recorded three steals in the win. Joining Pettus in double-figures was Joey Woods with 12 points and Jimmy Hudson with 10 points.

Jamal Durham led the Rams with 20 points in the win as he and Floyd (12 points) were the only two players in double-figures for WSSU. Lamar Twitty led three Rattlers in double-figures with 17 points in a losing effort.

Leading the Rams was Jamal Durham’s team-high 12 points. Darrell Wonge joined Durham in double-figures with 10 points in the loss.

The win improves the Rams to 8-11 overall while the Rattlers fall to 8-11 with the loss.

The loss drops the Rams to 8-12 overall while the Wildcats improve to 9-13 overall with the win.

Halftime: WSSU 21, Coppin State 27 Technical Fouls: WSSU-0, Coppin State-0 Officials: Victor Montgomery, Bernard Clinton, Kenneth Clark Attendance: 241 BALTIMORE, Maryland - For the third consecutive game the Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team shot below 30 percent from the field, and for the third straight game the Rams took a loss as Coppin State University downed WSSU 62-44 in Baltimore, Maryland on Monday evening. The loss drops the Rams’ record to 8-14 overall and runs WSSU’s road losing streak to an all-time high of 14 games. Winston-Salem State has not won a road contest since Jan. 27, 2007 when they earned a victory over Bethune-Cookman, a span of 14 consecutive losses away from home. Again it would be poor shooting that would doom the Rams. WSSU started the contest with a Darius Floyd lay-up off of the game’s opening tip but would then go nearly six minutes without a field goal as the Eagles ripped off a 13-0 run that gave them what would prove to be an insurmountable advantage.

The Rams fell victim to a combination of factors on Saturday afternoon at Hill Field House as the Bears turned in one of their best single-half performances of the season, coupled with WSSU’s worst single-half performance of the season as a myriad of factors combined to down the Rams.

WSSU would mount a run of their own as they trimmed the CSU lead back to five points midway through the first half of play before allowing the host-team Eagles to push the cushion back to a half-high 12 points with 4:21 remaining in the first period.

Using a 16-4 run to start the game over the contest’s first seven minutes play the Bears used a 24-9 first-half rebounding advantage, a 51.6 percent field goal shooting performance (16 of 31), nine assists on 16 first-half field goals (56.3 percent of field goals assisted upon), and a perfect half from the free throw line as Morgan State amassed a 39-13 lead after 20 minutes of play and never looked back as they recorded their 14th win of the season.

A jumper by Darrell Wonge, coupled with a Brian Fisher lay-up and a pair of Corey Morris free throws allowed the Rams to head to the locker room at halftime trailing by only six points at 27-21 following a 6-0 run, but much to the chagrin of head coach Bobby Collins, the Rams’ newfound offensive output would be short-lived.

Conversely the Rams’ first half was as poor a showing as the Bears’ half was promising. Winston-Salem State scored only 13 points in the first 20 minutes of play, their lowest single-half total of the season that fell far short of the season’s previous low of 20 points scored in the first half versus Wake Forest on Nov. 23. WSSU’s 20 points came on a season-low single-half shooting percentage of 18.2 percent which surpassed the Rams’ previous season-low of 21.9 percent suffered in the season-opener at Iowa State on Nov. 9. The 26-point halftime deficit, the Rams’ largest deficit of the season, would prove to be too much for the young Rams to overcome as Morgan State never allowed Winston-Salem State to get closer than 20 points for the remainder of the contest. To the Rams’ credit, Bobby Collin’s youthful team would keep pace with the league-leading Bears over the first 10 minutes of play in the second half as both WSSU and Morgan State scored 13 points each heading into a media timeout at the halfway point of the second period. Despite the strong second-half effort, the Bears’ lead would be an insurmountable one as the Rams dropped their second consecutive game to Morgan State. Leading the way for Morgan State was Marquise Kately who recorded a game-high 14 points as he led three Bears into double-figures in scoring. Darrell Wonge led the Rams with 11 points in the loss as he was the only WSSU player to score 10 or more points. The loss drops the Rams to 8-13 overall while the Bears improve to 14-8 overall (8-1 MEAC).

The Rams tallied only six field goals in the game’s final 20 minutes of play as WSSU missed 22 of their 28 shots from the field en route to a 21.4 percent second-half shooting percentage. Conversely, the Eagles hit 52.6 percent of their shots in the second half as they turned in a 10-of-19 shooting performance and used a 16-7 run to open the half to secure their seventh win of the season. The Rams shooting woes continued on Monday evening as even experience-laden players had trouble hitting the mark. Junior forward Jamal Durham missed all 12 of his attempts from the field and sophomore Brian Fisher, a player with 43 career starts, hit only four of his 15 field goals attempts. Despite his shooting difficulty, Durham pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds in 32 minutes of playing time for WSSU while Fisher tallied 11 points in the loss. Leading the way for the Rams was Darius Floyd who recorded a team-high 12 points. Antwan Harrison led the Eagles with 15 points as he paced four Coppin State players in double-digit scoring in the victory. The win improves the Eagles to 7-19 overall while the Rams fall to 8-14 overall with the loss. The Rams have now lost three straight games while the Eagles have won a season-high three consecuive contests.

Halftime: WSSU 23, Howard 27 Technical Fouls: WSSU-0, Howard-0 Officials: Q. Crawford, H. Harris, Jr., & B. Brooks, Jr. Attendance: 1,472 WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team erased a five-point deficit in the final 27 seconds of the game and Jamal Durham’s game-tying and game-winning free throws earned the Rams a 58-57 road win in the nation’s capitol over Howard University on Saturday evening. The Rams, trailing 56-51, looked to be headed for their 10th road loss of the season, and 15th consecutive road defeat dating back to last season as the Howard Bison enjoyed a five-point cushion at home in Burr Gymnasium with less than 30 seconds remaining in the game. With 17 seconds to play, Darrell Wonge’s bid to trim the lead to only thee points was off the mark and the shortest player on the court, WSSU senior guard Roy Peake, came down with the rebound, despite being standing only 5’10”. Peake, the Rams’s experienced veteran with over 100 starts in his career found WSSU’s Jamal Durham who was fouled on a lay-up attempt that stopped the clock with 14 seconds to play. Durham calmly hit both free throws to cut the Bison lead to only three points at 56-53 as the Rams slowly started their comeback. An immediate foul sent Howard’s Eugene Myatt to the free throw line attempting to make push the lead back to five points. Myatt, however, missed the second half of the one-and-one and WSSU’s Isiah Tucker, a freshman guard who had just checked into the game for offensive purposes, hit a 22-foot three-pointer that cut Howard’s lead to only one point, at 57-56 with five seconds remaining. With the lead at only one point, Myatt’s difficulties were not over as he turned the ball over to WSSU’s Brian Fisher immediately off of the inbounds play and coupled with a Bison foul, WSSU looked poised to steal a win from the clutches of defeat. As fate would have it, the player who started the run, Jamal Durham, would again head to the free throw line, this time attempting to tie the game with his first free throw, and win the game with his second toss. The Rams, a team that shoots only 60.8 percent from the free throw line, and Durham, a junior forward who has hit only 61.7 of his free throws this season to date, would leave no doubt as to the contest’s outcome as he calmly drilled both attempts to earn the Rams their first road win of the season 58-57. Brian Fisher led the Rams with 20 points in the win as he and Durham (10 points) were the only WSSU players in double-figures in scoring. Leading the way for Howard in the loss was Curtis White who recorded 18 points. The Rams improve to 9-14 overall with the win while Howard falls to 5-20 with the loss. WSSU improves to 7-5 in the all time series versus the Bison as the Rams sweep the season series.

Halftime: WSSU 33, Hampton 29 Technical Fouls: WSSU-0, Hampton-0 Officials: Dwayne Gladden,Victor Montgomery, Duke Edsall Attendance: 1,454 HAMPTON, Virginia - The Winston-Salem State Rams (9-15) came out with fire and intensity, but could not come home with the win as a second half surge by the Hampton Pirates (15-9) gave the visiting Rams a 67-62 loss. The game was an emotional one as WSSU head coach Bobby Collins made his first appearance in Hampton,VA since leading the Pirates to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Championship in 2006. The Rams were able to channel the emotion of the game into a solid on-court performance, challenging one of the top teams in the MEAC for all 40 minutes. For the game, the Rams shot a scorching 45.7% from the field, despite shooting 26.7% from the three-point line. WSSU junior forward Jamal Durham led the way for the Rams with 14 poitns and eight rebounds in the loss, while freshman forward Paul Davis added 10 points. Senior forward Darrell Wonge led the Rams on the boards with nine rebounds to go along with eight points in the game. It was all Pirates early with homestanding Hampton jumping out to an early 11-1 lead, but the Rams battled back claiming their first lead of the game, 20-18 on a pair of Durham free throws with 7:06 left in the half. Down the stretch of the half, the Rams controlled the game going ahead by as many as eight points, 28-20 on a lay-up by WSSU freshman guard Isiah Tucker with 2:57 left in the half.The Pirates would make a run in the final minute as a lay-up with 00:22 left in the half cut the WSSU halftime lead down to four points, 33-29. The second half started much like the first half with the Pirates coming out to a strong start. An early 10-4 run by the Pirates would erase the WSSU lead and give the Pirates a 39-37 advantage that the home team would not relinquish. Though Hampton did its best extend its lead, the Rams would continue to battle and keep the game close for the remainder of the contest. Tucker would go on to hit another crucial basket for the Rams as his three-pointer with 6:29 would pull the Rams to within one point of the Pirates, 55-54 with 6:29 left to play. The three-pointer capped a 9-2 run by the Rams that pulled the team to within one point of the Pirates. Hampton would then respond with five unanswered points and pulled away from the Rams for good.The final minutes saw the Rams get no closer than four points on a Tucker free throw with 00:29 left to play. Another Pirate free throw eight seconds later would cap the win and leave the Rams with the 67-62 loss in the game. The emotional loss will tip-off a big week for the Rams as the team will return home to face the North Carolina A&T Aggies in a home game on Saturday evening at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum Annex.

Halftime: WSSU 31, NC A&T 34 Technical Fouls: WSSU-0, NC A&T-2 Officials: Waddell Daniels, Seth Fitch, Greg Purnak Attendance: 4,200 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - The 85th meeting between the Winston-Salem State University and North Carolina A&T men’s basketball programs featured a coaches ejection, a packed house of over 4,200 fans, exciting end-to-end college basketball action and a 71-63 WSSU victory as the Rams downed their I-40 rival at the LJVM Coliseum Annex on Saturday evening. The 85th meeting between the two teams turned out to be one of the most exciting contests of the rivalry with the Rams and Aggies battling all 40 minutes. The game featured nine lead changes and just two ties came down to some clutch WSSU free throw shooting to pull out the win. As a team, the Rams hit 9-of-11 free throws in the final minute of play, including going 3-of-4 on a pair of technical fouls on the North Carolina A&T bench. As a team, the Rams had one of their best shooting performances of the season shooting a scorching 53.2% from the floor, including shooting 60% from the field in the second half. It was only fitting that WSSU senior forward Darrell Wonge would be one of the top performers of the night as Wonge poured in 16 points along with three assists in the game. Winston-Salem native Jamal Durham led the way for the Rams with a teamhigh 17 points in the game. WSSU senior guard Roy Peake added 14 points and a game-high six assists. WSSU freshman Paul Davis added 11 points and eight rebounds in the game as well. The Rams came out firing early in the contest, taking an early 8-3 lead to open the contest. A lay-up by Davis with 16:27 left in the first half would cap the early run by the Rams. However, the Aggies would bounce back, with an 8-2 run that gave the visitors their first lead of the game, 11-10 with 14:22 left in the first half. They were able to respond, however as a thunderous Durham dunk with 9:57 left in the half would give the Rams their biggest lead of the half, 24-16. Try as they might, the Rams could not rid themselves of the Aggies with North Carolina A&T battling back to take a 30-29 lead with just under five minutes left in the half. Down the stretch of the half, the Rams would get no closer and ended the half trailing, 31-34. The second half turned out to be a much different story, however, as the Rams battled back to reclaim the lead, 37-36 with 14:57 left to play. Capped by a pair of clutch Wonge free throws, a theme throughout the entire night, the Rams claimed their first lead of the second half with 14:02 left to play. The squad would push their lead up to as many as seven points, 48-41 with 9:13 left to play. In a manner similar to the first half, the Aggies once again clawed their way back into the lead, 54-53 with 5:16 left to play. The Rams, however, would not be denied on this night, as a Davis jumper a few seconds later would put the Rams back on top, this time for good. The Rams fought off the pesky Aggies in the final minutes of the game, allowing North Carolina A&T to come no closer than two points in the final five minutes of the game and closing the final minute of play with the aforementioned clutch shooting. With tonight’s win, the Rams inch one game closer to the Aggies, who hold a 48-36 lead in the rivalry, while WSSU head coach Bobby Collins improves his record against the Aggies to 7-2 all-time.

Halftime: WSSU 23, NSU 23 Technical Fouls: WSSU-0, NSU-0 Officials: L. Jones, F. Bordeau, B. Church Attendance: 1,107 WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - The Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball team downed one of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s best teams on Monday evening at the Joel Coliseum Annex as second-ranked Norfolk State University could not withstand a late WSSU rally as the Rams earned a 68-65 victory on a night when three WSSU seniors played in the final home game of their careers. The two teams played dead-even basketball during the first 20 minutes of play as the lead changed hands and was deadlocked a total of 16 times (eight times each). It would be only fitting that the halftime score found the two teams deadlocked at 23-23 headed into the locker room for intermission. 19 total first-half turnovers would eclipse the total of 18 made field goals, yet the two teams would respond with furious action in the second half as both WSSU and Norfolk State nearly doubled up their first half point totals in a contest that finished with 17 ties and 20 lead changes. The Rams came out of the locker room hot and were the beneficiaries of excellent play from a pair of freshmen as Isiah Tucker scored all nine of his points in the second half and Paul Davis score 10 of his 14 total points in the game’s final 20 minutes of play. Coupled with the consistent play from Jamal Durham who tallied a team-high 17 points and the unusual scoring output from senior Roy Peake who scored 12 points in the win, the Rams were able to avenge their early-season loss to the Spartans. Jamal Durham led the Rams with 17 points in the win as he paced three WSSU players in doubles figures. Paul Davis and Roy Peake joined Durham in double figures with 14 points and 12 points, respectively, in the win. Leading the way for the Spartans was Tony Murphy who tallied 15 points in the loss. Joining Murphy in doublefigures was Michael Deloach who recorded 14 points in a losing effort. The win improves the Rams to 11-15 overall while the Spartans fall to 14-12 on the season with the loss. WSSU head coach Bobby Collins improves his all-time head coaching mark versus the Spartans to 7-6 overall with the victory.

Halftime: WSSU 23, Florida A&M 26 Technical Fouls: WSSU-1, Florida A&M-1 Officials: Chuck Jones, Byron Evans, Hassey Braggs Attendance: 883 TALLAHASSEE, Florida - The Winston-Salem State University Rams held the Rattlers of Florida A&M University without a field goal for the final three minutes and five seconds yet were unable to sneak out of Gaither Gymnasium with a win on Saturday afternoon as FAMU defeated WSSU, 68-61, to split the season series between the two teams. The Rams jumped out to an early 8-2 lead yet could never pull ahead of the Rattlers by more than six points as the early margin proved to be their largest advantage of afternoon as the Rattlers used nine three-point field goals in the game to keep the Rams at bay in a contest that saw three ties and five lead changes. Following WSSU’s early run to open the game, the Rattlers used a 19-9 run over the game’s next 11 minutes of play to open up a four-point lead with five minutes remaining in the first half, a lead that they would never relinquish. Trailing by only three points, down 26-23, at the halftime intermission, the Rams could not even the game up in the second half as FAMU opened the game’s final 20 minutes of play with a 9-2 run en route to one of their largest leads of the day, an eight-point spread, with more than 15 minutes of time remaining in the game. Despite shooting nearly 46 percent from the field in the second half,WSSU was no match for the Rattlers and their eight-of-14 (57 percent) shooting from three point range in the game’s final period. Led by Leslie Robinson and his game-high 25 points, the Rattlers were able to fend off all challenges from the Rams en route to the win. Robinson recorded a six-of-ten shooting performance from long distance as he hit five second-half three-point field goals. For the first time this season the Rams would see five players in double-digit scoring as Darrell Wonge led WSSU with a team-high 15 points. Joining Wonge in double-digits were Brian Fisher and Darius Floyd with 12 points each, and Jamal Durham and Paul Davis who each recorded 10 points in the loss. WSSU led in nearly every statistical category as they lost only the three-point shooting battle as the Rams shot an unusually cold 1-of-12 (8.1 percent) from behind the three-point arc. Three-point shooting would prove to be the difference in the contest as WSSU dropped the seven-point decision as the two teams split the season series. WSSU drops to 11-16 on the season with the loss while Florida A&M improves to 12-16 with the victory. FAMU improves to 2-1 all-time versus the Rams while WSSU head coach Bobby Collins drops to 6-6 all-time versus the Rattlers with the loss.

Neither was 45 minutes. It took 50 minutes for the outcome of the Bethune-Cookman versus Winston-Salem State University men’s basketball contest to be decided on Monday evening in Daytona Beach, Florida before the Rams earned a doubleovertime victory over the Wildcats in a thriller that saw the Rams erase an eight-point lead at the end of regulation to force a pair of overtimes en route to the win. Ten lead changes and seven ties, 40 minutes of regulation time and a pair of five minute overtime sessions added up to a five-point WSSU win as the Rams snapped a one-game losing skid and salvaged a split in their annual road trip to the state of Florida. The Rams started the contest on a 9-2 run as they opened up a seven point lead over the startled Wildcats. Unfortunately for the Rams, the seven-point early lead would be WSSU’s largest margin of the game as Bethune-Cookman, a team that was only 6-8 at home headed into the contest, responded with a run of their own as they closed the gap, eventually taking the lead in the final three minutes of the first half. On the heels of their 8-0 run to close the first half, the Wildcats held a three-point advantage, up 32-29 headed into the locker room at halftime. Second half action was nearly dead even for the first 15 minutes of play with the two teams separated by less than eight points for the entire period of play. A Dewayne Pettus jumper with 2:40 remaining put the Wildcats in the lead by six points, ahead 60-54 as Bethune-Cookman looked to be inching ever closer to a season sweep of the Rams, a team that they had defeated 60-50 in Winston-Salem, NC on February 4. Looks proved to be deceiving for the Wildcats however as the Rams, in a scene eerily reminiscent of the come-from-behind victory at Howard in Washington, D.C. on February 16, used a pair of Roy Peake free throws, a pair of Darrell Wonge free throws, a Wildcat turnover and a Jamal Durham jumper to mount a 6-0 run in little more than a minute of play as they tied the game 60-60. Tied at 60 all, the Rams very nearly won the game in regulation as a Darrell Wonge jumper as time expired was off the mark and the two teams headed to overtime. Winston-Salem State jumped out to a four-point lead in overtime before the Wildcats, much like the Rams did in regulation, mounted a challenge and retook the lead late in the first overtime session. A Darius Floyd jumped with under one minute to play in the extra frame forced a second, and final, overtime period as Winston-Salem State was forced to play an second five-minute period to earn a victory. The second overtime session proved to belong squarely to WSSU as the Rams closed out the final three minutes of the contest on a 6-1 run en route to the 76-71 double-overtime victory. Senior forward Darrell Wonge and sophomore guard Darius Floyd led the Rams with 17 points each as they were two of five WSSU players to record double-digit scoring nights. Joining Wonge and Floyd in double-figures was Jamal Durham with 14 points and Brian Fisher and Paul Davis who each tallied 10 points in the win. Leading Bethune-Cookman was Dewayne Pettus who paced all scorers with 22 points. Dominique Whatley chipped in with 13 points and Kevin Crappy and Jordan Carrier each tallied 10 points in the losing effort.

Halftime: WSSU 37, South Carolina State 28 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, Sount Carolina State-None Officials: William Cheek, Alvin Cox, Sr., Byron Evans Attendance: 2,697 ORANGEBURG, South Carolina - Close games have been the norm for the Winston-Salem State Rams (12-17) and Thursday’s game against the South Carolina State Bulldogs (12-19) was no different as the Rams took a hard-fought 73-71 loss in Orangeburg, SC,Thursday evening.The loss was a tough one for the Rams as the team led the way for most of the contest, but could not come away with the victory. Statistically, the Rams had a great night, shooting 40.0% from the floor in a road game and only turning the ball over nine times for the entire game. However, the team struggled to get key baskets when they needed them the most.WSSU junior forward Jamal Durham led the way for the Rams with a double-double 25 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. The Rams got things started early jumping out to an early, 11-7 lead over the Bulldogs on a tip-in by WSSU senior forward Darrell Wonge with 15:11 left to play in the first half. The WSSU lead would not last, however, South Carolina State reclaiming the lead, 13-12 on a jumper. The Bulldogs would use their home court edge to build a commanding eight-point lead, 22-14 with 8:41 left to play in the first half. The 9-2 South Carolina State run would not deter the Rams, however, as the team worked their way back into the ballgame.The Rams would run off eight unanswered points, capped off by a Fisher jumper with 7:13 left in the first half. The final minutes of the first half would see the Rams mount a furious surge, including going on a 9-0 run to close the half and take a 37-28 lead into the locker room at halftime. The Rams’ momentum from the first half carried over into the second half as the team built their largest lead of the night, 42-31 on a free throw by WSSU senior forward Darrell Wonge with 18:40 left to play. The Bulldogs would not go away, however, as the home team whittled the Rams’ lead down to the seventh tie of the night, 45-45 with 14:17 left to play. It was in the game’s final minutes, the action heated up as the two teams continued to battle. With just over eight minutes left to play, the Rams found themselves trailing Bulldogs 57-55 with 8:07 left to play. WSSU freshman center Paul Davis would tie the game on a pair of free throws, however at the 7:40 mark. WSSU freshman Isiah Tucker would hit crucial three-pointer with 6:26 left to play that gave the Rams a 60-59 lead. The lead would not last however, with South Carolina State running off four unanswered points and taking command of the game 63-62. A steal by WSSU senior guard Roy Peake and a lay-up by WSSU junior Jamal Durham would get the Rams back into the game, 63-62 with 5:08 left to play. The final five minutes were tough for both teams as stifling defense at both ends of the court held the two teams scoreless for the next two minutes of play. Back-to-back turnovers and a pair of missed free throws were all the Rams could manage during the span.The Bulldogs, however, would get a basket inside to go ahead 65-62, but a Durham three-pointer would tie the game, 65-65 with just over two minutes left to play. The final minute of the game turned out to be a test of wills with WSSU sophomore guard Brian Fisher and South Carolina State junior center Julius Carter trading big shots in the game. Heading into the final minute of play, the Rams trailed by just one point as a missed dunk by the Bulldogs led to a breakaway lay-up by WSSU sophomore guard Brian Fisher that pulled the Rams to within one point, 67-68 with just under a minute left. Fisher would repeat the act ten seconds later to give the Rams a 69-68 lead with 36.8 seconds left to play. South Carolina State junior center Julius Carter would hit a lay-up inside that put the Bulldogs back ahead, 70-69 with 00:27 left to play. Following a missed Carter free throw, Fisher would put the Rams back on top, 71-70, but another tip-in by Carter would erase the WSSU lead and leave the Rams trailing, 72-71 with seven seconds left to play. WSSU freshman guard Isiah Tucker would draw a crucial South Carolina State foul with just three seconds left to play to give the Rams a chance for the win. Tucker would miss both free throws, however, and ended the Rams’ chances for the win. One more South Carolina State free throw would seal the 73-71 loss for the Rams.

Halftime: WSSU 31, North Carolina Central 31 Technical Fouls: WSSU-None, North Carolina Central-None Officials: Frankie Rapuso, Al Cox, Sr., Frankie Bordeaux Attendance: 11,121 RALEIGH, North Carolina - The 133rd meeting between the Winston-Salem State Rams (12-18) and the North Carolina Central Eagles (4-26) was one to remember as the Rams came away with a 60-56 loss in the bonus game of the 2008 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Tournament. The first half turned out to be a story of runs with the Rams and Eagles trading scoring streaks that would make the game one of the more exciting games of the season for both teams. WSSU freshman center Paul Davis would break the third tie of the game with a tip-in with 15:34 left in the first half. The basket would spark a 14-0 run by the Rams that put the team back in control of the game, 18-6 with just over 12 minutes left to play in the first half. A lay-in by WSSU sophomore guard Darius Floyd would cap the run and keep the Rams ahead, 20-6 with just over 12 minutes left to play. The Rams’ rivals would not go away, however, chipping away at the WSSU lead with an eight-point run of their own that cut the WSSU lead down to just four points, 20-16 with 9:43 left in the half and forcing the first WSSU timeout of the game. A dunk and free throw by WSSU junior forward Jamal Durham would snap the NCCU run and keep the Rams on top 23-16 with 8:13 left to play in the half. The dunk would spark another run by the Rams, this time of the seven-point variety that put the team ahead, 27-16 with just over five minutes left in the half. The final minutes of the half saw the Rams stumble, however, as the squad went scoreless for the final 1:30 allowing the Eagles to tie the game, 31-31 at the half. A Davis lay-in with just over five minutes left to play was the only WSSU field goal in the final five minutes of the half. The WSSU drought would spark a run by the Eagles that saw the WSSU lead evaporate with a breakaway steal and dunk at the buzzer that left the two teams tied, 31-31 at the half. The Rams’ struggles at the end of the first half would carry over into the second half as the Eagles would take their first lead of the game, 35-33 with 17:51 left to play. Following NCCU’s reclamation of the lead, WSSU senior forward Darrell Wonge would take the lead back with a three-pointer, 36-35, before the Rams would give the Eagles four unanswered points and found themselves trailing, 36-39 with 16:25 left to play. WSSU freshman Isiah Tucker would power a Rams comeback, however, as he hit a pair of three-pointers to put the Rams back on top. His first three-pointer with just over 14 minutes left to play would spark a 5-0 run by the Rams that put the team ahead, 43-42 while another Tucker three-pointer would give the Rams a 46-45 lead with just over 12 minutes left to play. The Eagles would respond, however, scoring six unanswered points and taking a 51-46 lead with 9:50 left to play. The Rams were not done with WSSU senior forward Darrell Wonge leading the WSSU charge. A Wonge three-pointer with 8:32 would pull the Rams to within one point, 50-51. In contrast to the rest of the game that saw the two teams trading runs, the final minutes of the game saw the two teams trading baskets. The game’s waning moments were just as exciting as the rest of the contest as both teams would need some clutch free throw shooting to remain in the game. A pair of NCCU free throws with 2:48 left would leave the Rams trailing, 56-58. The two teams would go scoreless for the next minute and a half, setting up a nail-biting final minute of play that featured five WSSU fouls, three WSSU timeouts, and three missed NCCU free throws. Unfortunately for the Rams, it also included three missed shots that could have tied the game. In the end, North Carolina Central would hit a pair of free throws with two seconds left to play to seal the 60-56 win. The loss ends WSSU’s season at 12-18 while the Eagles end the season with a 4-26 overall mark.

Clarence E. Gaines 1923-2005 WSSU Hall of Fame Head Basketball Coach 48 Seasons (1946-1993) Fifth All-Time Winningest NCAA Coach (828-447) Clarence E. “Big House” Gaines, Sr. was born in Paducah, Kentucky, May 21, 1923, to Lester and Olivia Bolen Gaines. He attended the public schools of Paducah and graduated in 1941, as class salutatorian, from Paducah’s Lincoln High School. He excelled academically, played basketball, was an All State football player, and played trumpet in the school band. Although he qualified academically to attend numerous colleges and universities “Jim Crow” segregation and a suggestion by the family physician (a schoolmate of legendary Morgan State University football coach, Eddie Hurt) caused young Gaines to enroll at Morgan State University in 1941. It was upon his arrival at the Baltimore, Maryland campus that Gaines received the nickname he is widely known by -- “Big House.” According to oral accounts the school’s business manager took one look at the 6 ft. 3in., 265lb Gaines and declared: “Boy, I never seen anything bigger than you but a house.” While at Morgan State Gaines received recognition as an All-American football player and participated on the basketball and track teams. Gaines graduated from Morgan State in 1945 with a B.S. degree in Chemistry intent on furthering his education and attending dental school. His college coach, Eddie Hurt, recommended he temporarily go to Winston-Salem Teachers College in Winston-Salem, NC, to become the assistant coach to Brutus Wilson (a Morgan State graduate) who coached all sports at the small southern college. Upon Wilson’s departure to Shaw University in 1946, Gaines became the head football and basketball coach, athletic director, trainer, and ticket manager. Gaines coached football from 1946-1949. In 1948 Gaines was named CIAA (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association) “Football Coach of the Year” after leading the RAMS to an 8-1 season. Beginning in 1949 Gaines only coached basketball, and served as athletic director. In 1950 Gaines received his masters degree in education from Columbia University. In 1950 Gaines married the former Clara Berry, a Latin language teacher in the (Winston-Salem) Forsyth county public school system. They are the parents of two children, Lisa Gaines McDonald, a private business consultant and Clarence Edward Gaines, Jr., a scout for the National Basketball Association’s Chicago Bulls. Due to his proficiency as an athletic coach, teacher and humanitarian, Gaines has received numerous awards: CIAA Basketball Tournament Outstanding Coach Award; 1953, 57, 60, 61, 63, 66, 70, 77; CIAA Hall of Fame Inductee, 1975; NAIA Helms Hall of Fame Inductee, 1968; N.C. Sports Hall of Fame, 1978; CIAA Basketball Coach of the Year, 1957, 61, 63, 70, 75, 80; NAIA District 26 Outstanding Coach Award, 1975-78; Paul Robeson Award, 1980; WinstonSalem Urban League Family of the Year Award, 1973; Order of the Long Leaf Pine (N.C.); and the Silver Buffalo Award (Boy Scouts of America) etc.

During Coach Gaines’ 47-year tenure as coach and athletic director at WinstonSalem State University he coached former WSSU and professional basketball greats Cleo Hill (first African-American from an historically Black college and university to be drafted #1 by the National Basketball Association -- St. Louis Hawks, 1961) and Earl “The Pearl” Monroe Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee and all star performer) of the National Basketball Association’s New York Knicks. In 1967, as a result of his guidance and the all around play of future National Basketball Association All-Star Vernon Earl “The Pearl” Monroe, the WinstonSalem State College, men’s basketball team won the 1967 National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) Division II Basketball Championship -- the first historically Black college to win a national championship. Subsequently, Gaines was named the NCAA Division II (1967) College Coach of the Year. In 1982 Gaines was recognized for his contribution to basketball by being inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame (named in honor of the inventor of basketball James Naismith). Involved in numerous professional and civic activities, in addition to his duties as athletic director, coach and instructor, Gaines was President of CIAA Basketball Coaches Association, 1972-76; NAIA District Chairman, 1966-72; President of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, 1989; Co-founder of the Winston-Salem Youth Baseball League, Inc.,1960; Patterson Avenue YMCA Board of Management, 1969-1971; Experiment in Self Reliance Board of Directors, 1987; Winston-Salem Automobile Club (AAA) Board of Directors, 1986; founder and former administrator of the Winston-Salem State University National Youth Sports Program and the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Board of Trustees and President of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, 1989. Other activities include membership in Sigma Pi Phi Boule and Omega Psi Phi fraternities, Boy Scouts of America, Forsyth County Heart Association, United States Olympic Committee, Model Cities Recreation Committee, Rotary Club of Winston-Salem and basketball consultant for the United States Air Force (Germany, England, Mexico). Upon his retirement as basketball coach at Winston-Salem State University in 1993, Gaines had amassed a win/loss record of 828-446, making him the winningest active basketball coach in NCAA history, and the second winningest collegiate basketball coach behind the University of Kentucky’s late Adolph Rupp. However, following University of North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith’s 877th career win in March 1997, coach Gaines became the third winningest basketball coach in NCAA history behind only Adolph Rupp (2nd), and Dean Smith (1st). Gaines was eventually surpassed by longtime friend Jim Phelan of Mt. St. Mary’s University (formerly Mt. St. Mary’s College the name change took place on June 8th, 2004), placing him fourth all-time in wins in NCAA Basketball history before Bobby Knight passed both Phelan and Gaines in 2005, moving “Big House” to fifth-place all-time. Clarence Gaines passed away on April 18th, 2005. He is survived by his lovely wife Clara and two children, Lisa and Clarence, Jr. Gaines’ legacy at WinstonSalem State University and in the college basketball world are surely to never be forgotten.

“One Man Team” Earl Monroe Leads Winston-Salem State To Title Rams’ 1967 National Championship

By: Bill Schrader

Rams Stage Rally

Evansville, IN – Winston-Salem State College, led by all-time collegiate scoring leader Earl Monroe, was shunned all season as one of the nation’s top small-college basketball teams.

That’s just what Winston-Salem did in the championship game as the Rams came from behind to overtake Southwest Missouri in the closing minutes. Monroe tallied 16 of the 21 points scored in the last ten minutes, including two clutch free throws with 25 seconds remaining to insure the win.

The Rams couldn’t be denied in the 1967 NCAA College Division tournament however, defeating sixth-ranked Akron University, second-ranked Kentucky Wesleyan and fifth-ranked Southwest Missouri en route to the national title. Those who had any reservations about the ability of Monroe saw them disappear as he went on a five-game scoring binge of 34, 49, 29, 23 and 40 points to win the Most Valuable Player Award hands down. When the regular season drew to a close, Winston-Salem had lost only once in 27 games, winning the Central Intercollegiate Athletic championship. Monroe was averaging 43 points per game to close in on the single-season scoring record. Passed Up By Experts This wasn’t convincing enough for the experts, who never ranked the Rams higher than eleventh in the polls. The oversight became obvious in the Midwest Regional tournament at Akron as Winston-Salem started its title march by disposing of the sixth-ranked Zips, 88-80, behind Monroe’s 49-point performance. The fitting climax came in the championship game as the Rams disposed of Southwest Missouri, 7774. Monroe contributed 40 points to the title victory. Seven professional scouts were on hand to reaffirm the previous evaluations that Monroe was one of collegiate basketball’s “blue chippers” as an All-America choice of The Sporting News for 1967. Nothing he did dissuaded them. Monroe had some very talented teammates, but just the same the Rams were the closest thing to a “one man team” to win the coveted smallcollege championship. This stemmed from the coaching philosophy of Clarence “Big House” Gaines: “When you need it, give it to the money man.”

Southwest Missouri had come close to spilling Winston-Salem with a zone defense that shut off the four other Rams’ starters and aggressive rebounding that stifled a usually productive fast break. With the front line of Danny Bolden, Don Carlson and Lou Shepherd hauling down 29 rebounds, Southwest Missouri had a 39-32 edge on the boards. In the 82-73 semifinal victory over defending champion Kentucky Wesleyan, the Rams’ 6-6, 230-pound sophomore center, Bill English, dominated the defensive boards to trigger the fast break, so Monroe was content to play the role of feeder and floor leader. He scored 24 points as 6-1 senior guard Eugene Smiley hit 27 and English contributed 22. The defense that Southwest Missouri threw at Winston-Salem drew accolades from Gaines. “That’s the best we’ve been defensed all year” he said. “Anytime we’re up against a team that uses its three good rebounders like Southwest Missouri did, we’ve got problems.” Losers Boast Balance Southwest Missouri, which also finished second in the national tournament in 1959, had balanced size across the front line with Shepherd, 6-7; Carlson, 6-6, and Bolden, 6-4. Bolden and Shepherd were also big offensive guns with 27 and 20 points, respectively. If Southwest Missouri Coach Bill Thomas had to do it over again, he wouldn’t change a thing. “Just one basket or one rebound in the last minute and a half could have made the difference,” he said. “We had the opportunity. We just didn’t capitalize on it.”

155

Thomas said his defensive strategy was to stick to the zone and send two men after Monroe as often as possible. “I thought we played Monroe well.” He added “You’re just not going to shut him off. Rams’ All-America Breaks Collegiate Scoring Record With 40 points in Earl Monroe’s final game, the Winston-Salem senior brought his season’s scoring total to 1,329 points, the most ever piled up by any college player. The previously recognized mark of 1255 was Bevo Francis of Rio Grande in 27 games in 1954. Monroe, an All-America choice of The Sporting News, achieved his total of in 32 games. The MVP of the NCAA’s College Division finals, Monroe was named to the all-tournament team along with Danny Bolden and Lou Shepherd of Southwest Missouri and Sam Smith and Dallas Thornton of Kentucky Wesleyan.

Earl “The Pearl” Monroe Full Name: Vernon Earl Monroe Born:12/21/44 in Philadelphia High School: John Bartram (Phila.) College: Winston-Salem (N.C.) Drafted by: Baltimore Bullets, 1967 (second pick overall) Transactions: Traded to New York Knicks, 10/10/71 Nickname: The Pearl Height: 6-3; Weight: 190 lbs. Honors: Elected to Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (1990); NBA champion (1973); All-NBA First Team (1969); NBA Rookie of the Year (1968); NBA All-Rookie Team (1968); Four-time NBA All-Star (1969, ‘71, ‘75, ‘77); One of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History (1996). Before the arrival of “Magic” Johnson there was another “Magic” -- “Black Magic,” also known as “Earl the Pearl.” He was Earl Monroe, a dazzling ballhandler and one-on-one virtuoso who made crowds gasp with his slashing drives to the hoop. Monroe joined the NBA in 1967 and parlayed his talents into a distinguished 13-year career. He was part of a changing of the guard in the NBA, arriving at a time when high scorers like Dave Bing and Jerry West were showing that the backcourt could rack up points just as effectively as the center position. He finished with a career average of 18.8 ppg. Spectators were amazed not only by the number of points that Monroe scored but also by how he scored them. “The ultimate playground player,” is how Bill Bradley once described him to the New York Post. He loved to spin and twist through the paint and then launch off-balance, circus-like shots in the tradition of the Harlem Globetrotters. His shots went in often enough for Monroe to compile a respectable .464 career field-goal percentage and earn four All-Star Game appearances. More importantly, he was a key leader on two excellent teams of the late 1960s and early 1970s-the Baltimore Bullets and the New York Knicks. Monroe grew up in a tough South Philadelphia neighborhood. As a youth he was more interested in soccer and baseball than in basketball, but by age 14 he had grown to 6-3 and had drawn the attention of school basketball coaches. Although he wasn’t immediately adept at basketball, Monroe played center during most of his youth. His “shake-and-bake” moves originated in the tough contests played on Philly’s asphalt playgrounds. “I had to develop flukeyduke shots, what we call la-la, hesitating in the air as long as possible before shooting,” he once explained. Monroe decided to attend Winston-Salem State, a small, historically black college in North Carolina. There he found a father figure in Coach Clarence “Big House” Gaines, a famed figure in black college sports and blossomed into a first-rate scorer. As a senior in 1966-67, Monroe led his Winston-Salem State University Rams squad to an NCAA Division II title while averaging 41.5 points. A local sportswriter, the Winston-Salem Journal’s Jerry McLeese penned the phrase “Earl’s Pearls” to describe the points he tallied, and a nickname was born.

Monroe, the No. 2 choice in the 1967 NBA Draft, was chosen by the Baltimore Bullets, a franchise that had not enjoyed much success. During his initial season the team showed little improvement, finishing in the Eastern Division cellar. Monroe, however, was a standout. He was named NBA Rookie of the Year after averaging 24.3 points to finish fourth in the league in scoring. In one game against the Los Angeles Lakers he tossed in 56 points. The Bullets’ fortunes improved after they surrounded Monroe with a strong roster that included All-Star Wes Unseld, bruising forward Gus Johnson, talented Jack Marin, and guards Kevin Loughery and Fred “Mad Dog” Carter. Monroe was at the head of the pack, leading a run-and-gun attack that was fueled by Unseld’s quick outlet passes. During the next three seasons Monroe averaged 25.8, 23.4 and 21.4 points, respectively, leading the Bullets into the playoffs each year. Lacking great speed and leaping ability, Monroe compensated with a feathery jump shot and a patented spin move that he initiated by bumping up against

an opponent and making contact before spinning away to launch one of his unorthodox shots. Most of all, Monroe made his mark with his uncanny moves to the hoop. Employing a hesitation dribble or perhaps a double-pump or triplepump fake, he would slip past mystified opponents and drop in layups. Observers said that watching him play was like listening to jazz; his moves resembled free-floating improvisations, riffs that took off in midflight and changed direction unpredictably. “The thing is, I don’t know what I’m going to do with the ball,” Monroe once admitted, “and if I don’t know, I’m quite sure the guy guarding me doesn’t know either.” Fans and pros alike loved Monroe for his array of entertaining shots and his special flair. “Put a basketball in his hands and he does wondrous things with it,” said Bullets Coach Gene Shue. “He has the greatest combination of basketball ability and showmanship.” In a New York Post interview, Baltimore teammate Ray Scott was less circumspect: “God couldn’t go one-on-one with Earl.” In 1968-69, Monroe averaged 25.8 ppg to help the Bullets jump from last to first in their division. He also appeared in the All-Star Game for the first time, scoring 21 points and dazzling viewers with his moves. The season ended abruptly, however, when the Bullets faced the Knicks in the playoffs and were buried in four straight games. At season’s end, Monroe was rewarded with a berth on the All-NBA First Team, the only such honor of his career. The Bullets and the Knicks hooked up again in the 1970 playoffs, tangling in a wild seven-game division semifinal. The Knicks prevailed a second time as Monroe starred in a losing effort. He fired in 39 points in a 120-117 double-overtime loss to the Knicks in Game 1. The following year the Bullets got their revenge by overcoming the Knicks in seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals, taking the final game in the hostile environs of Madison Square Garden. Monroe had to wait for his first championship ring, however. The Milwaukee Bucks, led by MVP Lew Alcindor (later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and Oscar Robertson, vanquished the Bullets in four straight games in the NBA Finals, only the second time a team had been swept in the championship series. Monroe averaged 21.4 points for the season and made his second trip to the NBA All-Star Game. Monroe continued to be a key figure in the series of Bullets-Knicks playoffs that followed -- a bitterly contested, long-running saga in which the two clubs faced each other in six consecutive years from 1969 to 1974. The series offered exciting games and dream matchups, the best of all being the duel between

Monroe and the cool, stylish Walt “Clyde” Frazier. Both stars had entered the NBA the same year (Frazier was drafted by the Knicks three notches below Monroe) and each was called upon to guard the other during games. Defensive wizard Frazier often battled Monroe to a standoff, but he likened guarding Monroe to “watching a horror movie.” After one skirmish Frazier marvelled, “You’d have to knock him out to stop him. He gets his body between you and the ball so you can’t get at it.Yet, he seems so relaxed. He doesn’t show a bit of pressure.” Amazing as he was, Monroe failed to satisfy many basketball purists, who tended to downplay his overall value. Although he had led Baltimore to winning seasons and had carried his college team to a national championship, some perceived Monroe as simply a show-off who cared more about scoring baskets than about winning games. Monroe never had a chance to prove his critics wrong in Baltimore. On Nov. 10, 1971, the unthinkable happened: Monroe was traded to the hated Knicks. During the offseason he had wrangled with Bullets management over his salary, and he had considered defecting to the American Basketball Association’s Indiana Pacers. The Knicks parted with Mike Riordan, Dave Stallworth and cash to obtain Monroe. New York managed to retain the core group from its 1969-70 championship team, but not everyone cheered the trade. Critics questioned whether Monroe’s one-on-one style would clash with the team-oriented Knicks, who stressed defense and unselfish basketball, and whether he would fit in the backcourt alongside superstar and archrival Frazier. At first, Monroe had trouble adapting to the new system in New York. With Frazier in the driver’s seat, Monroe handled the ball less than ever. He was also hobbled by battered knees and ankle problems during the 1971-72 season, limiting his playing time to 21.2 minutes per game. As a result, his scoring plummeted to 11.9 ppg. But during their second year together, Monroe and Frazier began to complement one another well. By season’s end they looked so good together that reporters were referring to them as the “Rolls Royce backcourt.” After finishing second in the Atlantic Division, the Knicks faced Baltimore again in the playoffs. Monroe encountered signs that read, “Benedict Monroe.” Nevertheless, the Knicks defeated the Bullets in five games. In one game Monroe scored 32 points, his career high with the Knicks. New York went on to conquer

the Boston Celtics, who had led the NBA with 68 victories, with a dramatic 94-78 seventh-game victory in Boston. The Knicks advanced to the 1973 NBA Finals and claimed the title by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in five games. Monroe tallied 23 points in the deciding game. By the end of the 1972-73 season Monroe had become a Madison Square Garden favorite. Although he averaged a relatively modest 15.5 ppg that year, his moves were as dazzling as ever. Reporters noted that he played unselfishly, passing up shots when teammates had better chances at the basket. He was also routinely given the defensive assignment of guarding the opposing team’s highest-scoring guard, thereby giving Frazier more freedom to make steals by patrolling the passing lanes. “I’m more dedicated, sure, and a different type of player,” Monroe told HOOP magazine. “With Walt Frazier around I don’t handle the ball as much. But as great a team as the Knicks are, it boils down to one-on-one.” After that championship year the Knicks began to falter. Willis Reed, on injured legs, lasted one more campaign. Jerry Lucas and Dave DeBusschere also retired after the 1973-74 season. Bill Bradley stayed on until 1977, the same year New York traded Frazier to the Cleveland Cavaliers. During the mid-1970s, Monroe continued to be productive. He posted scoring averages of 20.9 ppg in 1974-75, 20.7 in 1975-76, and 19.9 in 1976-77. Monroe was an All-Star in 1975 and 1977, but the Knicks fell into decline, missing the playoffs entirely in 1979 and 1980, Monroe’s last two seasons. Monroe retired in 1980 after averaging only 7.4 points in 51 appearances. During his 13-year career he had amassed 17,454 points in 926 games, evidence of his durability despite a history of knee and leg problems. Following his retirement Monroe took his flair for showmanship into the entertainment industry. He managed several singing groups, launched a record company called Pretty Pearl Records, and returned to basketball to work as a television commentator. In 1989, Monroe was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and in 1996 was named to the NBA 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. “If for any reason someone were to remember me,” he said during an interview with HOOP, “I hope they will remember me as a person who could play the game and excite the fans and excite himself.” There’s little doubt that anyone who saw Monroe play will ever forget him. Earl the Pearl helped herald a new era in basketball, a more exciting game that showcased dazzling individual skills within a team context. He proved that you could win-and have a magical time doing it.

Electronic Media Regulations Winston-Salem State University Athletics has its own home page on the Internet (www.WSSURAMS.com). With the recent growth of the World Wide Web, the following policies have been adopted by Winston-Salem State University for both credentialing and allowing access to practice and interviews. Nothing in this policy creates any right, entitlement, or interest in the media credentials to anyone or any entity, as this is a guideline only. The final decision for media credentials remains the sole and exclusive discretion of Chris Zona, WSSU Assistant Director of Athletics for Media Relations. These guidelines are intended to provide the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations with guidance in exercising sole and exclusive discretion as to who will be issued media credentials, but are guidelines only. They are intended to list some of the factors that will assist in providing media credentials. Because technology and media are dynamic processes, these guidelines do not, and cannot, exhaustively list or describe each situation that may occur. Only the official website of a WSSU opponent (and/or its official conference site) will automatically be issued passes for those events that require access (or media) credentials (with a maximum of two credentials). Other than the official website of an opponent, the below guidelines must be met for minimum consideration for credentials and access for any Internet site. 1.

No online service will be allowed “real time” transmission of any live Winston-Salem State University athletic event (known as “cybercasts”). Those broadcast rights are co-owned by WSSU, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and the radio and television partners of those two entities. “Real Time” is defined as any on-line media providing live continual play-by-play coverage, digital photographs, audio or video of an event, and includes the use of in-game comprehensive statistics. WSSU reserves the right to grant approval of real time play-by-play game statistics via the Internet, as these rights are no different than television or radio rights and are essential in building the WSSU brand. These rights are reserved for the agencies representing the participating institutions in an official capacity and contractual rights fee-paying media. In conjunction with this, radio and television stations, networks or cable systems are prohibited from making available video highlights without permission from WSSU.

In addition, the official websites of the two participating institutions are the only ones allowed to serve as sources of information (other than the score and appropriate scoring plays) via the Internet during the game.

Any entity, agency or individual may request access and/or credentials, but the decision to grant media credentials rests in the sole and exclusive discretion of WSSU. Some non-exhaustive examples as to which Internet providers may be granted media credentials are the official online service of a national over-theair or cable network or established publication (e.g. ESPN, CNN/SI, CBS SportsLine, etc.). Request and subsequent coverage, if granted, must be done in the true name of those seeking credentials and access, and not be a moniker.

Websites that sponsor “message boards,” “message centers” or “chat rooms” where people are allowed to post anonymous information, speculation and rumors are ineligible for credentials or access. NOTE: If a medium has an online site and they sponsor these anonymous forums, they may continue to request credentials under its traditional medium (newspaper, television, magazine, radio) but will not be granted additional passes for online staff.

Websites that request and wish to qualify for credentials that sponsor these forums must display them in a manner where posters of information are both accurately identified (no monikers) and have accurate contact information.

Any online service that places emphasis on the recruitment of potential student-athletes will not qualify for credentials. This is defined as any organization that is recognized as an outlet intended primarily for the purpose of recruiting news and or the recruitment of student–athletes where 50 percent or more of the information relates to this topic. Those organizations will thus be considered recruiting organizations and will not be eligible for credentials.

Membership in a writer’s association (e.g. FWAA, USBWA) does not automatically qualify an online agency, or any other organization, for credentials or access.

Credentials will not be granted to any online agency operating sites that are in any way affiliated with gambling, or to “freelance” or “fan-based” sites that are not affiliated with a legitimate news gathering organization. For example, “I’m covering for AOL,” will have to be validated by a request from a sports director, again associated with an official news gathering organization.
