With a coaching record of 56-25, Doug Williams looks to coach his son, DJ, when he returns to Grambling State.
Williams Returns
To Grambling
GRAMBLING, LA­—Former Grambling
State quarterback and head coach Doug
Williams will return to the university for
his second stint guiding the Tigers’ sto-
ried football program.
The Virginian-Pilot first reported
Monday morning that Williams will
again be named Grambling State’s head
coach. He is expected to be re-introduced
on campus Wednesday.
Athletic director J. Lin Dawson said
the university would be releasing a state-
ment Monday night.
Williams left his position as general
manager of the Virginia Destroyers, an
expansion team in the United Football
League, to return to the Tigers.
He will have a chance to coach his son,
D.J., a quarterback out of Tampa, Flori-
da, who is part of Grambling State’s 2011
recruiting class.
“I was looking forward to working
with the Destroyers, but this is a great
opportunity for me and it is very rare
that a father gets to coach his son at the
college football level,” Williams said in
a release issued by the UFL. “I went to
school there, I coached there, and now I
have a great opportunity to coach there
again.”
Williams will replace Rod Broadway,
BILL FEIG/THE ADVOCATE
who resigned earlier this month after
four seasons to become head coach at
North Carolina A&T.
As a quarterback at Grambling State
from 1973-77, Williams played for leg-
endary coach Eddie Robinson and led the
team to a 36-7 record and three South-
western Athletic Conference champion-
ships. He was fourth in the voting for the
1977 Heisman Trophy.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted
Williams in the first round of the 1978
NFL Draft. He played in the NFL and
USFL for 11 seasons and became the first
African-American quarterback to start
and win a Super Bowl, guiding the Wash-
ington Redskins to a 42-10 victory over
the Denver Broncos as the MVP of Super
Bowl XXII.
When Robinson retired in 1997 after
56 years at Grambling State, Williams
succeeded him as head coach for six
seasons from 1998-2003. He compiled a
52-18 record and won three SWAC cham-
pionships before he left the program to
join the Buccaneers’ front office.
On Saturday, Williams was inducted
into the Black College Football Hall of
Fame.

FOOTBALL CLASSICS
Southern University will replace Jackson State in the 23rd Annual Atlanta Football Classic. The Jaguars will face the Rattlers of Florida A&M University.
Southern, FAMU in 2011
Atlanta Football Classic
ATLANTA­—To grow the Atlanta Foot-
ball Classic, game officials have gone to
the roots of black college football.
The 23rd classic will match Florida
A&M and Southern University, one of
the oldest and more storied rivalries
among historically black colleges and
universities. The two schools have signed
a two-year agreement and will play Sept.
24 in the Georgia Dome.
The classic, produced by the non-profit
100 Black Men of Atlanta as a fundraiser
for a program preparing Atlanta Public
Schools students for college, dropped
Tennessee State in favor of Southern
after a 17-year run with the school. At-
tendance declined as the Tigers lost 11 of
their past 14 classics. FAMU has played
in every classic since 1998.
“We keep evolving the game, and we
thought that this matchup with these
two schools would move us even further
ahead,” classic chairman Bill Lamar said.
Southern athletic director Greg LaF-
leur said he had been in discussions with
classic officials for almost two years and
FOOTBALL
that talks picked up after the 2010 game,
which drew about 54,000. Southern
and FAMU first played in 1941, but had
to end their rivalry in 2001 because of
scheduling conflicts. They had arranged
a four-year series starting in 2007, but
further scheduling issues limited it to a
two-year run.
The two schools’ teams, and their
marching bands, are entrenched in the
history of black college football. South-
ern coach Arnett Mumford and FAMU
coach Jake Gaither were pioneers of black
college football, winning 11 black-college
national titles in their combined 49 years
at their respective schools.
“We both know how important this
[game] is to our institutions,” FAMU
athletic director Derek Horne said.
LaFleur said the Jaguars’ fan base
could buy as many as 40,000 seats in
the dome. Horne said FAMU, which
has a large alumni base in Atlanta, buys
around 18,000 tickets for the game.
Tennessee State officials said they were
kept in the dark about getting dropped

BASKETBALL REVIEW
St. Augustine’s Tops JCSU
CHARLOTTE­—Junior guard Brittany
Torain (Warner Robins, Ga.), named
CIAA newcomer of the week Monday,
canned two free throws in the final 13.5
seconds as Saint Augustine’s College
withstood a late Johnson C. Smith rally
for a 62-58 victory Monday in a CIAA
women’s basketball contest at Brayboy
Gymnasium.
The two free throws were half of To-
rain’s four-point total for the Lady
Falcons (17-9 overall, 11-5 CIAA, 5-4
Southern Division), who swept the sea-
son series against the regionally-ranked
Lady Golden Bulls (21-3, 13-3 CIAA, 7-2
Southern Division). Two of the Lady
Golden Bulls’ losses have come against
the Lady Falcons, who extended their
winning streak to five games.
Senior guard-forward Allison Sikes
(Richmond, Va.), named CIAA player
of the week Monday, led four players in
double figures with 16 points. Sopho-
more forward Scharlawn Hubbard (Ak-
ron, Ohio) and freshman center Umeka
Benson (Charlotte, N.C.) both had dou-
ble-doubles with Hubbard getting 13
points and a career-high 13 rebounds
and Benson contributing 12 points and
10 rebounds. Senior guard Crystal Mc-
Caffity (Havelock, N.C.) added 10 points.
LaQwesha Gamble scored 12 points
and Racquel Davis added 10 points and
eight rebounds for the Lady Golden
Bulls, who had six players score six or
more points. The Lady Golden Bulls
made only 10 of 26 free throws, however,
for 39 percent. The Lady Falcons hit 17
of 28 free throws for 61 percent.
The Lady Falcons led 60-52 on a free
throw by senior guard-forward Le’Kiesha
White (Richmond, Va.) with 3:27 left, but
the Lady Golden Bulls went on a 6-0 run
capped by Shontanette Shaw’s layup to
close within 60-58 with 1:20 left. After
Sikes missed a jumper, the Lady Golden
Bulls attempted to tie or take the lead
but Brittane Nealy misfired from up
close and the Lady Falcons rebounded.
Torain was fouled and hit one of two
free throws for a three-point lead with
13.5 seconds left. After another JCSU
miss, Torain clinched the game with
another free throw with six seconds re-
LaQwesha Gamble had a team-high 14 points with six rebounds in the 60-53 JCSU win over WSSU
maining. The Lady Falcons led the entire
second half.
Led by the inside play of Benson and
Hubbard, the Lady Falcons pulled away
from the Lady Golden Bulls midway in
the first half. The score was tied 20-20 at
the 6:53 mark before the Lady Falcons
started an 18-5 run. Benson scored on a
short bank shot, a follow shot and a free
throw during the run.
Sikes capped the run with a deep
jumper just inside the three-point line
for a 38-25 Lady Falcons lead with 1:37
left in the first half, but the Golden Bulls
scored six straight points to close within
38-31 at halftime.
Benson, returning to her hometown
of Charlotte, N.C., led the Lady Falcons
with 12 points and nine rebounds in the
first half followed by Hubbard with eight
points and six rebounds. Both players
helped the Lady Falcons gain a 13-9 scor-
ing edge on second shots in the half.
Sikes added eight points and four re-
bounds for the Lady Falcons. Gamble

The Lady Golden Bulls were hurt by poor
free throw shooting in the first half, mak-

Sikes started the second half with five

the Lady Falcons a 44-33 lead, but she
picked up her third and fourth fouls by
the 17:31 mark, forcing her to leave the
game for a spell. Benson and Torain were
later whistled for their fourth fouls but

McCaffity scored four consecutive points
including a basket on an assist from Da-

BASKETBALL REVIEW
Lady Pirates Clinch Conference Title
HAMPTON—The Hampton University
women’s basketball team sent its seniors
out in style Monday night, beating Flor-
ida A&M 88-49 on Senior Night at the
HU Convocation Center to clinch the
MEAC regular-season crown.
On top of earning the top seed for next
month’s MEAC Tournament in Win-
ston-Salem, N.C., the Lady Pirates (20-6,
13-1 MEAC) recorded their 20th win of
the season – marking the first time since
1992-93 and 1993-94 that Hampton has
recorded back-to-back 20-win seasons.
Junior guard Choicetta McMillian
(Fairfield, Texas) led the Lady Pirates
with 18 points on 5-for-9 shooting from
behind the arc, while junior guard Jer-
icka Jenkins (Lancaster, Texas) added 17
points and 11 assists.
Senior forward Quanneisha Perry (De-
catur, Ga.) recorded her ninth double-
double of the season with 13 points and
10 rebounds, while senior guard Laura
Lewis (Dallas, Texas) added 12 points,
seven rebounds and four steals.
The Lady Pirates shot 50.7 percent
(35-for-69) from the floor in scoring a
season-high 88 points, making eight of
22 3-pointers and 10 of 14 free throws.
The Lady Pirates out-rebounded FAMU
(13-12, 8-5 MEAC) 44-30 and forced the
Lady Rattlers into 23 turnovers.
FAMU shot 35.6 percent (21-for-59)
from the floor, making just two of 11
treys.
Rattlers Get Big Road Win
HAMPTON—The Florida A&M Men’s
Basketball team (12-15,7-7 MEAC)
pulled an upset on Senior Night at
Hampton University (19-7, 9-4). The
Rattlers, who had struggled on the road
all season, pulled out a 58-55 victory over
the Pirates at the Hampton University
Convocation Center.
The Rattlers were led by Yannick
Crowder, who scored 16 points on the
night. Guard Brandon Hosley was the
only other Rattler in double figures with
10 points. Jeremy Dean swept the boards
for 10 rebounds, while Amin Stevens
pulled in eight.
Jericka Jenkins had 17 points and 11 rebounds when they clinched the regular season title against the Rattlers.
Jasmine Grice and Christian Rateree
led FAMU with 10 points each.
After Grice hit a jumper at the 6:40
mark to pull FAMU within eight, 28-20,
the Lady Pirates closed out the first half
on a 20-2 run to go into the intermission
up 48-22 and put the game out of reach.
The run started with 14 unanswered
points for the Lady Pirates, including
two 3-pointers from McMillian.
The Lady Rattlers went from the 6:40

mark to the 1:20 mark of the first half
without scoring.
The Lady Pirates shot 60.0 percent
(18-for-30) from the floor in the first
half, hitting six of their 13 treys and all
six free throws. Hampton also took a 13-
11 rebounding edge into the half, and
the Lady Pirates forced FAMU into 17
turnovers.

For the Pirates, Darrion Pellum scored
a game high 17 points, including 3-for-9
from the three point arc. Kwame Mor-
gan also scored in double figures with 13
points, going 2-for-7 from three point
range. Danny Agbelese pulled down 10
rebounds for the Pirates.
The game was tight, with neither team
able to pull away. There were four ties
and five lead changes. With both teams
shooting 35 percent from the field, the
game was truly a defensive battle. The
largest lead of the game was a six point
margin by FAMU.

ketball team walked off the floor with its
12th consecutive victory Monday night,
players smiled, high-fived each other and
hugged a few die-hard fans.
Their sense of joy was noticeable. But
it was matched by a sense of relief.
“This one got to me,” said coach San-
dy Pugh, who watched her team hold off
Alabama A&M for a 65-57 win.
“I’m happy with the win, but not hap-
py with our defensive performance in the
second half.”
One look at the final statistics showed
why.
A&M guard Whiquitta Tobar — who
came into Monday as the SWAC’s lead-
ing scorer at 18.5 points per game — fin-
ished with 31 points.
Twenty-six of them came in the sec-
ond half, when she and the Lady Bull-
dogs nearly stunned the crowd at the
F.G. Clark Activity Center with a massive
second-half rally.
As a result, Southern’s comfortable
lead dwindled from 15 points to 12 ...
from 12 points to 10 ... and eventually,
with 48 seconds left, the Jaguars led by
only five points, at 60-55.
Their win wasn’t secure until A&M
missed open jumpers on back-to-back
possessions.
“One of the things we’re going to have
to do is give our (players) situational
things, so they can process where we are
and what we want to do at that time,”
Pugh said. “There was one sequence
down the backstretch where they were
jump-trapping and we just watched
them. That can’t happen. Somebody’s
got to come get it.”
At any rate, it was a victory — one that
brought them closer to a Southwestern
Athletic Conference title.
Southern (16-8, 13-1 SWAC) main-
tained its 2 1/2-game lead on second-
place Prairie View, which walloped Ar-
kansas-Pine Bluff 99-38 on Monday.
Three games remain in SU’s regular
season, and with a win at home Satur-
day against Alcorn State, the Jaguars can
clinch at least a share of the regular-sea-
son championship.
Southern’s Jamie Floyd shoots over Alabama A&M’s Shaurice Miller on Monday night.
It would be the first time in Pugh’s 11-
year tenure that her team won back-to-
back titles.
At this point, it seems the only thing
that might prevent SU from claiming its
championship is health. Or lack of it.
Monday marked Southern’s first full
game without junior point guard Car-
neta Henderson, who injured her left
knee in Saturday’s win over Alabama
State.
Freshman Adrian Sanders took her
place, starting for the first time — and
if she was nervous, she did a good job of
hiding it.
Sanders picked up four fouls and
missed four shots, including one airball
in the second half. But she also had seven
points, four assists and two turnovers in
a season-high 33 minutes.
“I told her before the game that it’s the
same routine,” Pugh said. “I was more
worried about her during the pregame
dog-and-pony show, where she’d get too
hyped up instead of focusing in on the
game.”
ADAM LAU/THE ADVOCATE
Hannah Kador led Southern with 14
points, but needed some rest and ice for a
tender right ankle at the end of the night.
She crashed to the floor with 12:54 re-
maining, but got up by herself and later
returned.
Post player Laneisha Stephens came
off the bench for 13 points and seven re-
bounds in 13 minutes.
Jamie Floyd had a team-high nine re-
bounds.
Brittney Strickland scored 10 points
and Danielle O’Neal added seven, but no
other player scored more than two points
for the Lady Bulldogs (12-11, 8-5), who
made 34 percent of their shots and had
15 fewer rebounds than Southern (the
Jaguars grabbed 50 rebounds, including
22 on the offensive end).
“We had to make adjustments the best
we could,” Pugh said.
Monday night, they held on the best
they could, and that was just enough.

UDC Win on Senior Day Gold Nuggets 5-0 in GCAC

UDC 88, of 1,000 for his career. Over his time at
Fairmont State 81
WASHINGTON—The UDC men’s bas-
ketball team (11-14) closed out the home
portion of their season tonight with an
88-81 win over the Fairmont Sate Univer-
sity Fighting Falcons (15-9).
The win gave UDC an 8-4 record at
home this season, which is a seven win
improvement over last season. The Fire-
birds have now won 10 of their last 14
games overall, including seven in a row at
the UDC sports complex.
The key to tonight’s victory was the
team’s shooting from the field, especially
from long range. Led by senior guard
Tim Ellison’s (Mass Media – Alexandria,
VA) five made three-pointers, the Fire-
birds shot 52.4% (11 of 21) from down-
town for the game. That translated into
shooting 56.4% (31 of 55) from the floor,
which helped the Firebirds overcome be-
ing out-rebounded by the Falcons 42-30.
Ellison, who was playing in his final
home game as a Firebird after spend-
ing four seasons with the team, ended
up with 18 points and a team-high 7
rebounds. He is now just 14 points shy
UDC he has led the Firebirds in most
field goals made (330), most three-point-
ers made (135), most free-throws made
(191), most steals (52), and most games
played (69).
While Ellison continued to show why
he has been such a valuable member of
the Firebirds over the past four seasons,
there were others who stepped up as well
to help UDC go out on top in its home fi-
nale. Junior guard Brandon Herbert (So-
ciology – Baltimore, MD) led the team
in scoring for a sixth straight game, and
the seventeenth time this season with
28 points on 10 of 13 shooting from
the field. Junior guard Nigel Munson
(Graphic Design – Washington, DC) add-
ed 19 points and 6 assists, while sopho-
more forward Dyrek Jones (Accounting –
Brooklyn, NY) matched his season-high
with 14 points.
Despite those impressive numbers, the
game was tied going into halftime, 45-45.
It was not until the Falcons were up by
one with 16:53 remaining in the game
that the Firebirds started to open things
up. Propelled by three treys, UDC went
on a 17-2 run over the next four and a
half minutes to take a double-digit lead.
They would be able to sustain that dou-
ble-digit lead all the way until the 3:00
mark, when Fairmont state mounted
an impressive run of its own to cut the
lead to just two points. However, good
free-throw shooting by the Firebirds and
poor long distance shooting by the Fal-
cons kept them from ever retaking the
lead, allowing UDC to close out its home
schedule on a high-note.
Leading the way for Fairmont State
in scoring was sophomore guard Isaac
Thornton, who had 25 points. Junior
guard Steve Custis added 21 points, and
senior Terrence Green had 18 points and
10 boards. The Falcons shot 40.0% (28
of 70) from the field and 22.6% (7 of 31)
from three-point range.

NEW ORLEANS—Freshman Carmen
Holcombe scored a career-high 14 points
Saturday and started a second-half run
which carried NAIA No. 16 Xavier Uni-
versity of Louisiana to a 72-58 women’s
basketball victory over SUNO.
The Gold Nuggets (23-6, 5-0 Gulf
Coast Athletic Conference) extended
their conference regular-season win
streak to 23 games.
SUNO (18-3, 3-3) led 45-43 after
Kelly Stewart’s 3-pointer with 13:20 re-
maining, but Xavier took control with a
14-0 run during the next four minutes.
Holcombe, who scored 12 second-half
points, started the run with a putback
basket, and Keldra Hall capped it with
her 3-point play with 9:37 remaining.
The Nuggets maintained their double-
digit lead after Hall’s points.
Hall scored 12 points and Marchelle
Jones 11 for Xavier, which became the
second Louisiana school to reach 23
women’s basketball victories in 10 con-
secutive seasons.
Christine Conners scored 25 points
29 at halftime.
Xavier outshot the Lady Knights 46.2
to 37.3 percent from the floor and out-
rebounded them 46-26. The Gold Nug-
gets extended their home win streak to
10 games and earned their 15th double-
digit victory this season.
SUNO never led by more than three
points in either half, the last time with
16:59 remaining when Conners scored to
make it 39-36.
“There’s nothing like beating a city
rival,” Xavier Coach Bo Browder said.
“Our kids played really hard in the sec-
ond half, and Carmen Holcombe was a
bright spot.”
Xavier will close its regular season
against another city rival, Dillard, at 5
p.m. next Saturday in the Crosstown
Classic doubleheader at The Barn.
Texas Wesleyan 89,
Langston 64
FORT WORTH—The Texas Wesleyan
University women’s basketball team (24-
4 16-4 RRAC) took it to rival eleventh
ranked Langston University (22-5, 17-2
RRAC), picking up an easy 89-64 confer-
ence win on Monday at the Sid Richard-
son Center.
For the game, Texas Wesleyan shot
51.6% from the floor, 50.0% from behind
the arc, and 66.7% from the free throw
line. Langston shot 39.4% from the floor,
5.3% from the three point line, and 57.9%
from the charity line
With the win the Lady Rams achieved
their second highest win total in team
history, and also snapped a 10 game
Langston win streak against Wesleyan.
The last time the Lady Rams beat the
Lady Lions was on March 4, 2005, when
they took a 76-45 win in the RRAC Tour-
nament.
