Delaware State is the 2012 version of the 2011 North Carolina A&T football team. Picked near or at the bottom of the MEAC in the preseason, former Winston Salem State head coach Kermit Blount has done a solid job of retooling the Hornets into a capable football team after a 3-8 mark a year ago. […]

Most everyone who attended yesterday’s final spring scrimmage on the N. C. A&T campus got their first up close look at the new Press Sky Box that workers have just completed construction.
