The Winston-Salem Journal is working overtime on WSSU Sports!!!
JOURNAL STAFF AND WIRE REPORT
Published: September 2, 2010
Two Winston-Salem State players who were awaiting NCAA clearance on eligibility have received it and most likely will play Saturday against N.C. A&T.
Jermaine Kesler, a freshman defensive lineman from Lumberton, had a strong preseason and most likely will start, Coach Connell Maynor said. Linebacker Antonio Gates, a junior transfer from Atlanta, also was cleared.

"When we played that first game (a 47-13 win over Virginia Union), we thought we had some guys that we needed out there, but they will be able to play this week," Maynor said. "So that's good that we played as well as we did without those guys."
Maynor said that defensive lineman Akeem Ward, the only returning starter on the line, has not yet been cleared. Ward was declared ineligible in July but is appealing.

Winston-Salem State's Connell Maynor loves the atmosphere surrounding the rivalry with N.C. A&T, where he played for three seasons. The game is big, but how big?
Coach Alonzo Lee of A&T said it would be like the Super Bowl for WSSU.
Maynor said: "It's not the Super Bowl to us, it's just a nonconference game to us, but to them it's probably more important because it's their first game of the season."
Maynor also had a message for A&T fans on his return to Greensboro.
"It's nothing personal, its just business," he said. "So don't hold it against me when we beat you guys."

I smell a sell-out. If only the News and Record could get on board.
