WSSU scrimmage has a little of everything

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- There were about 100 curious onlookers at Winston-Salem State’s first full-team scrimmage on Saturday.

Those expecting to see perfection were disappointed.

The Rams, who were using their main practice field for the first time this season because of all the recent rain, went two full hours of offense against defense. Coach Connell Maynor of the Rams, who lost 11 starters from last season and is coming off a 14-1 season, said afterward that there weren’t many surprises.

"We’ve got a lot of young guys on offense and that’s what I’ve been telling people — but we have a strong defense, also," Maynor said. "So I think it’s a combination of our young guys being under the lights with the referees out there and fans watching; so, I thought the scrimmage went as expected."
