North Carolina A&T zips past Alcorn in Celebration Bowl, 64-44 By Staff Reports Published 5:50 pm Saturday, December 21, 2019
Alcorn State wide receiver Chris Blair (11) runs with the football during the Celebration Bowl against North Carolina A&T on Saturday. Blair caught seven passes for 150 yards and a touchdown, but the Braves lost 64-44. (Alcorn State Athletics) ATLANTA (AP) — Yet again, the Celebration Bowl did not end in a celebration for Alcorn State. Kylil Carter threw six touchdown passes, and North Carolina A&T racked up enormous offensive totals to beat Alcorn State 64-44 in the Celebration Bowl on Saturday for the Aggies’ third consecutive HBCU national championship. It’s the third time in five seasons — and second in a row — that North Carolina A&T (9-3) has beaten Alcorn (9-4) in the Celebration Bowl. It was a tough battle,” Alcorn State head coach Fred McNair said. “On offense, I thought we did some great things. Defensively, we didn’t play as well as we should have and we didn’t play that perfect game that we were looking for — too many mistakes and too many points given up. We just didn’t get it done.” For the rest of the story:www.vicksburgpost.com/2019/12/21/north-carolina-at-zips-past-alcorn-in-celebration-bowl-64-44/

The Celebration Bowl means a little bit more By Chuck Culpepper Dec. 21, 2019 at 6:24 p.m. EST ATLANTA — If they measured the 40 college football bowl games for perennial depth of meaning, the one they play here every December would catapult way, way up the charts. Its meaning burns unmistakably in the eyes and words of the participants. Its meaning belies its age, which happens to be a mere five years. Put it this way: In the coarse art of picking bowl-game winners, it has grown common to pinpoint teams that might not care so much based on regular season disappointments, then to wager upon their opponents. It happens with just about every bowl at some point, yet as the Celebration Bowl proved again Saturday when the points gushed and spilled as if from a slot machine in North Carolina A&T's 64-44 win over Alcorn State, not caring all that much will never happen here. "We'll never have a team like that," Sam Washington, North Carolina A&T's second-year coach, had said Friday. "I can tell you. That'll never happen."
