BOWIE STATE SURVIVES LINCOLN (PA) UPSET BID WITH 84-76 WIN

BOWIE STATE SURVIVES LINCOLN (PA) UPSET BID WITH 84-76 WIN                 (LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. – January 28, 2012) The Lincoln University men's basketball team rallied from a nine-point second-half deficit to force overtime, but the Lions couldn't pull off the upset as No. 19 Bowie State University survived with an 84-76 overtime victory in a CIAA Northern Division contest.             Bowie State (15-3, 7-2 CIAA, 3-0 North) raced out to a 20-16 advantage after a Travis Hyman dunk with 10:06 remaining, but Lincoln answered and took a 32-31 lead after a Teron Jones jumper with 47 seconds left in the first half. The Bulldogs got a pair of free throws by Jay Gavin with 31 seconds remaining as Bowie State took a slim, 33-32, lead into the break.             The 19th ranked Bulldogs shot 57 percent from the field (13-of-23) in the first period.  In comparison, the Lions made 13-of-29 first half field goals (45 percent) which included 6-of-9 (67 percent) behind the 3-point line.             Lincoln (Pa.) led only twice in the first period, holding a one point advantage (9-8 and 31-30) at the 14:17 and 1:22 marks respectively.  The Bulldogs led by seven (16-9) with 12:24 left in the first half, primarily on the hot long range shooting of junior Byron Westmorland.              The Bulldogs followed the lead of the Lady Bulldogs to start the second half, going on a 7-0 run to begin the period.  LUPA’s Derrick Washington stopped the run with a layup at the 17:34 mark.  However, Lincoln would not go away, trimming the deficit to 42-39 a little over a minute later.             Bowie State pushed the lead back to seven, but Lincoln’s Jai Kellman drained back-to-back 3-pointers that cut the Bulldogs lead back down to four.  A tear drop in the paint by Richard Glover narrowed the gap to 51-49 with 11:22 remaining in the game.             A Denzel Mooney 3-pointer tied the game at 52 but he was assessed an unsporting technical foul for taunting.  Bowie State’s Westmorland calmly converted the two technical free throws and followed that with a jumper, giving the Bulldogs a 56-52 advantage.             The Lions took their first lead (58-56) since the first half following a pair of free throws by Kenny Sharpe.  A free throw by senior Darren Clark followed by driving layup by fellow senior Jay Gavin shifted the advantage back to Bowie State at 59-58 with 5:43 left to play.             Lincoln (8-12, 3-6 CIAA, 1-2 North) had a few chances to win the game in regulation as Washington’s 3-pointer bounced off the front iron with 36 seconds left and his jumper with four seconds remaining hit the back of the rim to end regulation tied at 70. In overtime, Bowie State out-scored Lincoln 14-6 with Clark, a transfer from Lincoln, scoring eight points in the extra period.             Clark finished with 22 points on 6-of-12 shooting to lead the Bulldogs.  Westmorland had 20 points and Hyman chipped in with a double-double, 14 points and 16 rebounds. Gavin scored 11 points as Bowie State shot 53 percent (27-of-51) from the floor.             “At halftime I told Darren (Clark) he had only taken one shot and he wasn’t being aggressive enough … We need him to run our team, but we also need him to score”, said Bulldogs head coach Darrell Brooks.             Mooney led the Lions with 25 points and tied for team-high rebound honors with eight.  Sharpe added 19 points and matched Mooney’s rebounds with eight.             “I thought  the biggest difference tonight was us defending pretty well, holding them to 39 percent shooting overall and we out rebounded them by 10 (44-34), allowing us to shoot a bunch of free throws even though we didn’t shoot them very well”, said Brooks.              Bowie State made 10 more free throws than Lincoln attempted, but made only 26-of-42 free throws (62 percent).  Lincoln converted 11-of-16 free throws (69 percent) with 10-of-11 coming in the second half.             Bowie State University travels south on Monday (January 28th) for a divisional matchup with the Trojans of Virginia State University.  Game time is 7:30 pm in VSU’s Daniel Gymnasium. DEFENSE AND SECOND HALF BURST LEAD TO 63-44 BOWIE STATE WIN AT LINCOLN (PA)                 (LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. – January 28, 2012) Tough defense and second half run made all the difference as Bowie State rolled to a 63-44 divisional win over the Lady Lions of Lincoln University of Pennsylvania.  With the victory, the Lady Bulldogs improve their record to 3-13 overall (3-6 CIAA and 2-1 North).               The first 20 minutes of the game was nip and tuck but free throws were a problem for both teams.  Bowie State made just 6-of-18 from the charity stripe (33 percent) while Lincoln (Pa.) made 10-of-17 (58 percent).             It was a slow start for both teams after the opening tip as neither team would score until Lincoln’s Cynthia Johnson hit a jumper at the 17:49 mark.  The lead changed hands six times in the first period and also featured seven ties, including a 32-32 deadlock at halftime.             Bowie State opened the second half with an 11-0 run until Lincoln’s Brittney Waters drilled a 3-pointer at the 15:45 mark to stop the run.  The Lady Bulldogs defense remained relentless for another four minutes and held a 48-37 advantage midway through the final period.             The only Lady Lions to score points in the second half were Denyse Moore and Cynthia Johnson.  Moore scored a team-high 16 points (12 in the first half) and led Lincoln (Pa) with three assists and two blocks. Johnson finished with 13 points (five in the second half) and four rebounds.             Lincoln (5-16, 1-8 CIAA, 1-2 North) shot a horrific 13 percent (4-of-30) from the floor in the second half compared to 44 percent (12-of-27) for Bowie State.  The Lady Bulldogs defense forced 21 Lady Lions’ turnovers and ended the evening with a 40-22 points in the paint advantage.             Leading the way for the Lady Bulldogs was senior Chanita Jordan with a career-high 20 points to go along with game-highs of nine rebounds and three blocked shots.  Senior Juliette Turner contributed 14 points and eight rebounds.  Sophomore Brooke Miles rounded out Bowie State’s double figure scorers with 10 points.               The Lady Bulldogs will conclude a four-game road journey with a 5:30 pm contest at Virginia State University on Monday (January 30th).

Does this natural cancer cure cause cancer?

Natural Cancer Cure Charged with Causing Cancer!     There's a debate raging about the healing properties of capsaicin that's hotter than the spice itself.     Capsaicin, the component in chile peppers that gives them their spice, has been named as a possible trigger for skin cancer.     Yet, this is the same capsaicin that's widely known to bring about cell death for a variety of cancers. What's more, capsaicin is widely consumed in foods with chile peppers all over the world — not to mention being a common ingredient in topical creams for pain relief.     And now people are saying it might cause a certain type of cancer. Let's take a look. . . Continued below. . . Toxic chemical condemned 8 men to die of prostate cancer . . .but one of them escaped. Here's how he did it!     John S. watched helplessly as 7 of his Vietnam platoon buddies died of prostate cancer, one by one. They were exposed to chemicals during the war that caused them to get cancer when they reached middle age. Then, in 2002, John found out it was his turn. He got opinions from three different doctors and they all told him the same thing: he'd need a miracle to survive.     John found the miracle he needed. Four years after his diagnosis, he told us, "I am healthy and happy with no symptoms of the disease." He actually wishes he'd gotten the disease sooner so he could have told his Army buddies this secret. It might have saved their lives.     We're ALL exposed every day to chemicals similar to the ones that killed these veterans. A man is just about certain to get prostate cancer if he lives long enough. That means John's life-saving secret is big news for men everywhere. Click here and keep reading. . . First off, this spicy pepper component is a known cancer killer     I've reported on the value of capsaicin before. In Issue 23 of our newsletter, I talked about the power of this nutrient in helping heal prostate cancer. It's been shown to make prostate cancer cells disintegrate, in a study by researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centers, along with UCLA Medical School. They showed capsaicin forced 80 percent of human prostate cancer cells into apoptosis (cell death).     One of the scientists involved in the study at the time, Sören Lehmann, M.D., Ph.D., said capsaicin "…also dramatically slowed the development of prostate tumors formed by those human cell lines grown in mouse models."     In another study, done by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, capsaicin was shown to force pancreatic cancer cells in mice to self-destruct.     Capsaicin has been shown to slow the growth of prostate tumors while lowering the cancer cell production of PSA, or prostate specific antigen. This is pretty important to men over age 50 whose doctors often make them undergo the PSA test to diagnose prostate cancer. (Side note: it's not a very reliable test, but most doctors still insist on it. Capsaicin can help you impress your doctor by reducing high PSA levels.) Co-carginogen?     Now comes this dubious claim that capsaicin helps bring about skin cancer.     The claim surfaced from a study conducted by the Hormel Institute at the University of Minnesota, where lead researcher and professor Ann Bode went on record saying it's possible that capsaicin increases skin cancer risk. She points out concerns that the natural compound, when used in over-the-counter topical pain creams, could cause problems.     Please note she's NOT referring to capsaicin taken internally, as in food or supplements. She's referring only to topical use, and only to skin cancer.     Bode and her research team published their study in the journal Cancer Research. They stated that capsaicin, when applied topically to the skin of mice, actually induced tumors and elevated levels of an inflammatory enzyme (cyclooxygenase-2).     The molecular mechanisms of capsaicin as a cancer-promoter are unclear, and controversial to boot. The charge that capsaicin acts as a carcinogen at the tumor promotion stage comes from its ability to stimulate inflammation. Bode speculates that inflammation caused by capsaicin might be the link to the increase in tumors (as opposed to the spice itself).     But her whole claim is overblown and highly doubtful. Get this: The mice that got cancer were given capsaicin mixed with other substances known to be carcinogens. A control group of mice given ONLY capsaicin did NOT get skin cancer. Here's what we know for sure     Capsaicin kills cancer cells thanks to a family connection. It belongs to a family of molecules called the vanilloids which bind to proteins in the cancer cell mitochondria. This triggers apoptosis (natural cell death) and does so without hurting healthy cells.     When applied to the skin, it's believed that capsaicin lessens pain by temporarily disabling a neurotransmitter called substance P that sends pain signals to the brain. It effectively reduces the nervous system's sensitivity to pain.     In fact, capsaicin has been shown to be quite useful in reducing pain from cancer treatment. A 1997 study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology cited a study on cancer patients who had long-term neuropathic pain after surgery. After eight weeks of applying capsaicin topical cream to pain sites, they experienced 53 percent pain reduction (compared to only 17 percent pain reduction from a placebo cream).     The Hormel Institute study itself stops way short of saying topical capsaicin pain cream may be related to skin cancer. It says "capsaicin alone does not act as a carcinogen." Amen to that. In the Hormel study, capsaicin had lots of help.     Consider this: Mice in the Hormel Institute study received doses of capsaicin mixed with DMBA (7,12-dimetylbenz(a) anthracene) and TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate) on their skin. Both DMBA and TPA are known to be cancer-generating, tumor-promoting drugs. Those mice were guaranteed to get tumors. They were administered these substances with the intent of causing skin tumors.     There was a control group of mice treated with capsaicin only. Those mice did not develop skin tumors.     And this is what's most important as far as I'm concerned: The spice has been shown to be safe in animal studies where it's administered intravenously. So at least we know it's not a carcinogen when introduced inside the body. It's only application to the skin, for pain relief, that poses a possible problem. If you're really worried about it, don't use it on your skin.     Just to make my position clear: I believe capsaicin is a safe, natural food to prevent AND cure cancer when taken as food or supplements. Other uses for capsaicin     Capsaicin is a seriously powerful compound with a variety of uses besides cancer treatment and prevention. It can improve circulation, treat psoriasis, and lessen the pain from cluster headaches. One small study even showed improved hair growth for alopecia patients when capsaicin was taken in conjunction with isoflavone.     New research is even hinting capsaicin has value as a weight loss tool. According to a meta-analysis from Purdue University, the spice has potential in terms of reducing appetite and burning up calories.     And let me add, it's certainly not a harmless compound. Capsaicin is used in pepper sprays meant for personal defense. It's a chemical agent in riot control. It's also used to deter mammalian pests like squirrels from ravaging crops, and in household and garden insect repellents.     In spray form, capsaicin is meant to be painful. If it comes in contact with your eyes or any mucous membranes, you're going to feel pain. In large quantities — far more than you could ever eat in spicy food -- it can even cause death. You can't rely on the media to interpret science     What's clear is that the media bungled the message. Who knows how it started — perhaps a press release that misinterpreted the study data from the get-go. Dr. Paul Bosland, director of the Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University, said it best: "…it serves to illustrate the ignorance of many wire service stories that deal with science."     Meanwhile, there's another food ingredient that prevents cancer. In fact, it can cut your lifetime danger of getting cancer by about half! If you missed this important story in the last issue, scroll down and see it now. Ten-cent Pill Cuts Your Risk of Cancer in Half     Dozens of scientists have produced study results to confirm that a simple mineral found in the dirt is a powerful, all-natural answer to cancer. I just checked on the Internet and you can easily get it in supplement form for about ten cents a pill.     Its cancer-fighting power is truly awesome. If you take it regularly for years you can expect your danger of getting cancer to go down by about half. But, as usual, the medical establishment has gone all out to squash the evidence. Let's take a look. . . Continued below. . . End Those "Senior Moments" For Good!     Can't find your car keys for the umpteenth time? Misplace your glasses again? Don't remember names or faces very well? Ever walk into a room and go blank about why you're there?     Usually we laugh it off as just another "senior moment."     There's no question that small lapses in memory and concentration can happen naturally as you get older. They're embarrassing. They're frustrating.     But they're certainly no joke.     The mental lapses you laugh off today might be red alerts of serious brain changes that can steal away your memory and independence tomorrow.     Click here to learn how to supercharge your brain and protect your memory...     Selenium is one of the basic elements you may have learned about in chemistry or physics class. It's atomic number 34 on the periodic chart. And because it's a common element, it's just about the cheapest anti-cancer pill you can buy. You could say it's dirt cheap.     If you know anything about alternative health, selenium is probably a household word to you. You know it as a powerful antioxidant that helps purge your body of harmful, cell-damaging substances.     In his 1994 book Alternatives in Cancer Therapy, author and radio host Ross Pelton labeled selenium as "possibly the most powerful anticancer nutrient there is." I wouldn't go that far, but there's no question every single person reading this should take a selenium supplement or make sure to eat selenium-rich foods.     Just a quick glance at the scientific studies on this element will show why some have come to regard selenium as a powerhouse protector… Could these successes be just a fluke?     In the book Selenium: One Cancer Answer, nutritionist Chris Barr said the first medical application of selenium was documented by Dr. August von Wasserman.     Dr. Wasserman discovered in 1911 that selenite injected into mouse cancer tumors caused them to decompose.     Four years later, Dr. C.H. Walker and Dr. F. Klein caused small lingual (tongue) tumors in cancer patients to shrink and disappear. And by no means was that the end of the research on selenium's anti-cancer effects…     Consider some highlights in selenium's long history as a cancer warrior: 1935—study on breast cancer patients treated with selenium published in the British Medical Journal 1940—Dr. Emmanuel Revici pioneers the use of organic selenium in cancer patients (selenium derived from plant sources) to reduce possible toxicity associated with inorganic forms 1949—Drs. Clayton and Baumann first label selenium as a cancer preventative in the medical journal Cancer Research. 1957—Dr. Klaus Schwarz at the National Institutes of Health identifies selenium as an essential nutrient for life. 1970—Studies conducted by Dr. Gerhard Schrauzer, M.D., Ph.D. produced a 70 percent reduction in breast cancer by adding trace amounts of selenium to the diet. Schrauzer declared that 200 mcg of daily selenium supplements would dramatically reduce the cancer rate. 1980s—Dr. Larry Clark, Ph.D. conducted a long-term, double-blind study using 200 mcg daily of selenium on cancer patients; some 10 years later Dr. Clark reported that — compared to the control group --the supplemented group experienced: 63 percent reduction in prostate cancer 57 percent reduction in colon cancer 48 percent reduction in lung cancer 50+ percent reduction in all cancers 1990s—A1996 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed how effective selenium can be in preventing cancer. Dr. Larry Clark of the University of Arizona studied 1,300 older persons and found a 42 percent reduction in cancer among those taking 200 mcg of selenium daily for about seven years compared to those given a placebo. What's more, cancer deaths for those taking selenium were cut almost in half! 2000s—A study of over 1000 healthy males published in the May 2004 Journal of the National Cancer Institute showed that men with high blood levels of selenium were about half as likely to develop advanced prostate cancer as men with lower selenium levels.     And this is just a sample of the positive health results achieved by taking selenium! But don't think for one minute the medical community jumped for joy at hearing this news… The typical knee-jerk reaction from the medical establishment     Remember the amazing cancer reductions JAMA reported from Dr. Clark's 1980s studies mentioned above? Well, JAMA also published a letter from a medical doctor who criticized the results—simply because Dr. Clark didn't use a synthetic form of selenium rather than a plant-sourced form!     According to Chris Barr, Dr. Peter Greenwald—then Director of Cancer Prevention for the National Cancer Institute (NCI)—downplayed the study results telling reporters "it's just one study" and "we don't recommend supplements."     NCI later decided to institute a large-scale cancer trial with selenium. It is scheduled for completion and publication by 2016. But Barr said he was certain it wouldn't achieve good results. Why?     Because instead of using a type of selenium derived from whole foods, NCI is using a pharmaceutically prepared variety that is very low in antioxidant power!     The NCI actually chose to abandon the study in 2009—citing no evidence that synthetic selenium reduced cancer. We recommend selenium supplements whose labels say they are derived from plants or yeast, or that say "selenomethionine," a form of selenium derived from soybeans. According to Barr, sodium selenite and sodium selenate are inferior forms of selenium, not derived from plant sources.     But you'd best believe NCI wasn't the only mainstream medical institution trying to discredit selenium as a potential cancer killer… The FDA was forced to admit it goofed!     Some studies claimed to prove that selenium is a dangerous toxin that CAUSES cancer! Could it be true?     Barr discussed the few incidents and summed them up as follows: A French cancer study reporting deaths related to selenium use were due to administration of excessive doses. A 1937 American study found that 2 milligrams of sodium selenite per kilogram of body weight could be lethal. This too represents an excessive amount. The recommended therapeutic dose of selenium is 200 mcg per day. A microgram is one-thousandth of a milligram. The 2 milligrams cited in the 1937 study is ten times the recommended dose. A 1943 Food and Drug Administration study fed rats a sulfide form of selenium which also contained a pesticide. Because the amounts were more than DOUBLE the amount known to be toxic—it's little wonder the selenium caused liver tumors in the rats! But get this: In 1957 the FDA declared that selenium is an essential life nutrient. What's more,the FDA came clean and admitted in two official documents that its own 1943 study was flawed!     The bulk of scientific studies demonstrate that boosting selenium intake also boosts your immune system. By the same token, selenium deficiency can leave you wide open to various forms of cancer.     In addition to preventing the onset of disease, selenium can also slow cancer progression and enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation treatments!     You can supplement your daily selenium intake but the best form is ingested from whole foods.     Some of the richest food sources of selenium (in alphabetical order) include: Brazil nuts (that's what I eat — very rich in selenium) Cod fish Eggs (don't worry about cholesterol; eating eggs doesn't increase your cholesterol levels) Oatmeal Tuna Turkey Sunflower seeds     So if you want to protect your body from free radical damage—and stop cancer dead in its tracks—get more organic selenium in your diet. It could wind up being one science lesson that saves your life!

The Illegal Cure Ronald Reagan used for his Cancer

President Reagan refused America's outdated cancer treatments Instead, like other celebrities and European royalty, President Reagan went to Germany to cure his cancer Americans would be shocked if they knew that President Reagan, while still in the White House, turned his back on American cancer treatments. He secretly went to a German cancer clinic, got rid of his cancer, and lived another 19 years. Why did he choose Germany? Because German cancer doctors are the best — thanks to breakthrough treatments the American cancer establishment calls “quackery.” No wonder President Reagan and other celebrities such as Liz Taylor, Suzanne Somers, Anthony Quinn, and European royalty chose Germany’s kinder, gentler treatments. Surprisingly, these treatments cost 10 cents on the dollar compared to America’s dreadful treatments. As one of Germany’s top doctors said, “Doctors give chemo, chemo, chemo, and patients die, die, die.” That describes American cancer treatments. German doctors use a whole new way with NO hair loss, NO nausea, and NO disfiguring surgeries. Click here for photographic proof of the German cancer breakthrough You’ll see a complete description of the breakthrough including three astonishing "before and after" photos of a woman who said “NO!” to surgery that would’ve disfigured her face. She was completely cured without chemotherapy or surgery. Click here and see for yourself exactly what the German cancer breakthrough is, why it works so well, and where the celebrities go to get rid of their cancer.

Bowie State Moves Up To #19 in NABC Division II Poll

Bowie State Moves Up To #19 in NABC Division II Poll (KANSAS CITY, Mo.) The Bowie State Bulldogs moved up two spots to # 19 in this week's Division II NABC (Coaches) poll.  The poll records reflect games played through January 21st. Last week, the Bulldogs defeated Johnson C.

Vaughan Center) and this was great divisional victory for us.”             Bowie State matched its first half, 52 percent field goal shooting in the second half, hitting 15-of-29.  The Bulldogs made 13-of-26 of its 3-point field goals.             Westmorland led all scorers with a game-high 21 points and senior Darren Clark along with junior Bryan Wilson added 16 and 13 points respectively for the Bulldogs.  Clark snatched a game-high nine rebounds and handed out a game-high nine assists from his point guard position.             Elizabeth City State (9-9, 3-5 CIAA, 1-1 North) was led by Marquie Cooke’s 16 points and eight rebounds.  Spady, Angelo Sharpless and Jones also scored in double figures for the Vikings, adding 13, 11 and 10 points respectively.             Bowie State will take Tuesday off and begin preparation for Saturday’s (1/28) road rematch with the Lincoln University of Pennsylvania.  The Lions and Bulldogs will tip-off at 7:30 pm from LUPA’s Manuel Rivera Hall.   TURNOVERS COSTLY IN LADY BULLDOGS 60-50 SETBACK AT ELIZABETH CITY STATE                 (ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. – January 23, 2012) Turnovers and late cold spells costly in Bowie State 60-50 loss at Elizabeth City State.             “You can’t turn the ball over 25 times in a ball game and expect to win”, said first year head coach Renard Smith.              Elizabeth City State (11-7, 5-3 CIAA, 2-0 North) used an 11-0 run over a late first half stretch to turn a two point lead to a 35-25 halftime advantage.  ECSU’s Jasmine Walker was deadly in the first 20 minutes, knocking down four 3-pointers on 4-of -6 shooting.             The Lady Vikings shot a blistering 59 percent from the floor in the first half (13-22) which included 5-of-10 beyond the arc.             Elizabeth City State held a ten point lead early in the second half until a 3-pointer by Bowie State junior Brooke Miles followed by a jumper by senior Juliette Turner cut the lead in half at 39-34 at the 16:27 mark.  However, the Lady Viking pushed the lead back to ten (49-39) by the midway point of the second half.             Bowie State (2-13, 2-6 CIAA, 1-1 North) battled back to pull within three at 51-48, but the offense stalled for the remainder of the game.  The only bucket by the Lady Bulldogs over the final 6:07 was a layup by Turner at the 1:54 mark.             Turner was Bowie State’s only double figure scorer with 19 points and also led the team in steals with six.  Senior Chanita Jordan and junior Jasmine Jacobs chipped in seven points each and sophomore Chanet Wallace added six points.  Jordan swatted away a game-high five shots.             Walker scored a game-high 24 points to lead Elizabeth City State and Stephanie Harper added 12 points and six rebounds.  Wykeemia Gray pulled down a game-high eight rebounds for the Lady Vikings to go along with eight points and a team-high four assists.             Bowie State outrebounded Elizabeth City State 38-23.  “This (rebounding) was an emphasis for us this week in practice, but we have to learn from this and get better by the next game … I’m proud of the ladies because they really worked hard tonight”, said Smith as the Lady Bulldogs boarded the bus for home.             The Lady Bulldogs return to action Saturday (January 28th) at Lincoln University of Pennsylvania at 5:30 pm.

(Bowie State University's) DELANO JOHNSON GETS HIGH MARKS AT NFLPA ALL-STAR WORKOUTS

DELANO JOHNSON GETS HIGH MARKS AT NFLPA ALL-STAR WORKOUTS CARSON, Calif. -- The first practice of the week in pads was the most physical and most intense of the NFLPA All-Star workouts. The action was best in "The Pit," a drill matching offensive and defensive linemen one-on-one. Some of the biggest programs in the country are well represented on either line, but it was the small-school prospect that made the splashiest plays.   The most physically imposing player on either roster was Bowie State University’s Delano Johnson. Johnson has a chiseled build and looks the part of an NFL athlete. Listed at outside linebacker, Johnson practiced primarily at that position but was also occasionally shuttled to defensive-line drills to try his hand at rushing the quarterback. He showed speed but at the request of coaches resorted to attacking blockers with explosive upper-body strength later in practice. A passionate player whose enthusiasm made him popular with teammates and coaches, Johnson is undeniably raw but his size, strength and speed will draw interest from 4-3 and 3-4 teams alike.              Johnson put his name in the Bowie State record book in 2009, tying the Bulldogs all-time record for blocked punts/kicks in a season and became BSU’s all-time career blocked punts/kicks leader in 2010.

BOWIE STATE TAKES DOWN CHOWAN HAWKS 81-71 IN CIAA DIVISIONAL CONTEST                 (MURFREESBORO, N.C. – January 21, 2012)  The size of #1 Bowie State University proved too much for Chowan University, as the Bulldogs defeated the Hawks 81-71 in the CIAA divisional opener for both teams.  Bowie State improves to 13-3 overall (5-2 CIAA, 1-0 North) while Chowan falls to 6-13 overall (0-7 CIAA, 0-1 North).                 “Any time you can win a game on the road in this league, it’s a steal”, said Bowie State head coach Darrell Brooks.                  A 13-2 run midway through the first half gave Bowie State a 22-12 lead, but Chowan answered with a 10-3 run of their own to cut the deficit to three with 5:47 remaining in the half.  Chowan’s Quinton McDuffie drained a jumper at the 3:29 mark to keep the scoring gap at three.  That basket, however, would be the last for the Hawks over the next 9:05; a drought that extended deep into the second half.                 After taking a 35-31 lead into halftime, the Bulldogs opened a 41-31 lead, five minutes into the second period.  Not until the 14:24 mark, when Kyree Bethel connected on a three, did Chowan get on the scoreboard.                 The Bulldogs extended its lead to 15 with 10:16 to play, before Chowan cut it down to eight at 62-54.  Chowan could not maintain that momentum and Bowie State slowed pulled away late in the game.  Bowie State’s largest lead of the afternoon (19 points) came with 3:32 remaining and all the Bulldog starters on the bench.                 Bethel scored a game-high 27 points on 8-13 shooting behind the arc and 3-4 from the free throw line.  McDuffie rounded out Chowan’s double figure scorers with 19 points.                 “I’m really pleased how we’re defending and now we’re starting to rebound the basketball, and if we continue to do those two things well, we become a tougher team to beat”, said Brooks.                 Chowan committed just 11 turnovers compared to 18 for Bowie State.  The Hawks were held to 41 percent shooting from the field (24-59), which included 12-27 (44 percent) behind the arc.  The Bulldogs shot 28-58 from the floor and 23-of-34 from the free throw line.  Bowie State ruled the backboards, outrebounding Chowan 51-31. Senior Darren Clark scored a team-high 15 points to go along with seven rebounds and two assists.  Senior Travis Hyman and juniors Bryon Westmorland and Najee White chipped in a dozen points each.  Hyman led both teams in rebounds with 11. Bowie State returns to action on Monday (January 23rd), taking on the Vikings of Elizabeth City State at 7:30 pm in ECSU’s R.L. Vaughan Center.
