WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- The CIAA was due for some good luck.
The conference has been trying to move on since last November, when its football championship game between Winston-Salem State and Virginia State was cancelled because of a restroom attack that made national headlines.
This weekend, the spotlight should be back on the field for the WSSU-Fayetteville State and Virginia Union-Virginia State games. They’ll decide division titles and set the field for the Nov. 15 CIAA championship game in Durham.
“There’s a lot of excitement, not only for this weekend, but for next weekend and the championship game,” said Jacqie McWilliams, the commissioner of the CIAA. “With what happened last year, and the cancellation of the game, we are really anticipating an exciting weekend in Durham. And I think this season has been a great one with a lot of parity, and you can see that because there are four teams with chances to win their respective divisions.”
