WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Not only is Connell Maynor a very good football coach he’s been lucky over
three seasons to not have a long list of injuries to key
players.
That luck ran out on Nov. 10 when quarterback Kameron Smith, who now holds
every passing record in school history, went down in the second half of the CIAA
championship game against Elizabeth City State. Smith could still play on
Saturday in the second-round of the Division II playoffs but I’m guessing that
Anthony Carrothers will get the start instead.
Smith, who is 30-3 as a starter, came at just the right time when he
transferred from the U.S. Navel Academy before the 2010 season. Smith came here
after Maynor was hired and Smith, who is from Raleigh, turned out to be one of
Maynor’s best recruits.
The NCAA came to Winston-Salem about a month ago but it didn’t come looking
for violations. Instead, the NCAA came and did a nice story on Smith and the
rise of the WSSU football program.
