A&T plans five-stop Celebration Bowl Victory Tour

GREENSBORO, North Carolina — Fresh off the best season in the football program’s 93-year history, N.C. A&T continues to celebrate winning the Celebration Bowl for a second time in three years.

The 12-0 Aggies have five stops set on a Celebration Bowl Victory Tour where retiring coach Rod Broadway’s last team will be honored.

These Aggies have won three of the last four MEAC titles, two of the last three black college national championships, and they're the first MEAC team to finish a full season undefeated since the conference was born in 1971.

The victory tour's stops are:

• Jan. 15: The football team will serve as grand marshal of the Martin Luther King Day Parade through downtown Greensboro, which begins at 11 a.m. Monday.

• Jan. 16: The Greensboro city council will meet at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the council chambers of the Melvin Municipal Building, and the football team will be presented with a resolution honoring the season.
