FAYETTEVILLE — During his days at Chowan, or in last year’s debut at UNC Pembroke, when Mark Hall’s teams have faced Fayetteville State the result has always seemed to be a close, low-scoring contest that comes down to a play or two in the final minutes.
It’s applied to the Two Rivers Classic rivalry between the Braves and Broncos too, even predating the tenures of Hall or FSU’s Richard Hayes, as four of the last five meetings have been decided by four points or less with both sides tallying less than 20.
Both Hall and Hayes expect more of the same on Saturday when the teams meet at 6 p.m. at Luther “Nick” Jeralds Stadium in Fayetteville.
