Winston-Salem State University’s (WSSU) football team may be out of the CIAA championship race, but there’s still plenty — including a potential NCAA playoff spot on the line —as they prepare to face Fayetteville State University (FSU) during homecoming. The Rams are focused on securing a winning season, a potential NCAA playoff spot, and sending off their seniors with a victory in what could be their last game at Bowman Gray Stadium.
Robert Massey shared the team’s commitment,
“We have to take care of our business…the next team is Fayetteville State University. They’re coming in for our homecoming.”
He emphasized the significance of the occasion, noting, “This class here has a chance to win…two or three homecomings…We want to send this new class out on the right note.”
A win would not only cap the seniors’ careers with a memorable homecoming victory but also keep WSSU’s NCAA Division II playoff hopes alive. WSSU (6-3, 6-2 in Division II play) was one of three CIAA teams ranked in the recent regional rankings.
