Just last week the N.C. A&T Aggie football team was preparing for a big game with WSSU. The Aggies prepared well as they dominated the Rams

to bring back a 28-21 victory to Greensboro. It's another week now and A&T is still preparing for a big game. This game is bigger than last week's because, if A&T wants a portion of the MEAC football championship, it has to beat the Bulldogs.

In last week's game against the Rams, A&T lost the services of some key personnel. First, there was Wayman Pitts. Pitts had just made one of his spectacular runs against WSSU, when one of the Aggiettes serve to UNC-C during Thursday night's volleyball game. (Photo by Tyson) Rams defensive players caught up with Pitts and slung him hard on his shoulder. Then speedster Lon Harris reinjured his knee which has given him a lot of headaches in the past.
