BEARS
FALL SHORT 37-31 IN A THRILLER
Durham
,
NC
– The Shaw University Bears traveled to
Durham
,
NC
to face the red-hot Eagles of N.C. Central in the 1st
Annual Willie E. Gary Triangle Classic. The Bears were
officially the home team, but the game was played at N.C.
Central’s O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium. The N. C. Central
Eagles held on for a 37-31 thriller, when the Bears scored 21
unanswered fourth quarter points. The win extended the Eagles
win streak to four, while the Bears dropped to 1-3.
Before
a crowd of 8,312, the Bears scored first with 10:11 left in the
first quarter when Jermonty
Kimbrough (5’11, 190-JR/QB-Mobile,
AL
) completed a 11 play, 73 yard drive on a 12 yard run. After a
successful defensive stop, SU made their first big mistake of the
game when a Kimbrough pitch to Dion
McIver (6’0, 201-SR/RB-Lillington, NC) was fumbled and
the Eagles Jermicus Banks
(6’4, 280-SR/DL-Raleigh, NC) recovered. The first play from
scrimmage saw the Eagles Adrian
Warren (6’5, 215-SR/QB-Raleigh, NC) connect with Torey
Ross (6’4, 190-SR/WR-Jackson, MS) on a 44 yard
touchdown pass, which tied the score at seven all. That was
the first seven of 24 unanswered second quarter points.
A 20 yard field goal by Chester
Charles (5’9, 155-JR/PK-Baton Rouge, LA) as time
expired in the first half were the Bears only other points as the
Eagles led 31-10 at the half.
In the second half the Bears defense held the Eagles to two
field goals, while the offense slowly put them in position for the
win. Kimbrough threw fourth quarter touchdown passes to Anthony
Frost (5’9, 180-
SO/WR-Pahokee,
FL), Daniel Jackson
(6’3, 190-SO/WR-Lake Wales, FL) and Reggie
Price (6’0, 190-JR/Winston Salem, NC) scored on a four
yard run that cut the lead to six with 5:28 left. After a
defensive stop and an Eagle punt, the Bears got the ball on their 16
yard line with 1:53 left in the game. On third and 10,
Kimbrough tried to connect with T.
Nunnally (5’11, 180-JR/FS-Danville, VA) on a fly
pattern, but the Eagles JR Tanner
(5’10, 190-FR/Dudley, NC) made the biggest
(Eagle) play of the game, with a one hand interception.
Nunnally had him beat by three steps, and the entire stadium on
their feet. That play stopped the rally, but it did look like
the biggest play of the game (Bears), which would have been a
possible 38-37 Shaw win.
Shaw’s Jermonty Kimbrough and Central’s Adrian Warren were
named the Classic MVP’s.
NEXT
WEEK – The Bears will host the Blue Bears of
Livingstone College, while the Eagles will host the Bulldogs of
Bowie State in the battle of CIAA undefeated teams. Both teams
