SWAC claims 3 of 4 Top BOXTOROW Awards

[bluedog]

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southwestern Athletic Conference claimed three of the top awards in the BOXTOROW All-America Team release. Alcorn State University’s head coach Jay Hopson and quarterback John Gibbs, Jr. (Houston, Texas/Booker T. Washington) were named coach and offensive player of the year, respectively. Southern University’s Austin Howard (Edgard, La./West St. John) earned newcomer of the year honors.

Hopson is the first SWAC representative for coach of the year since 2009. He led Alcorn to Its first eastern division title and first SWAC championship game appearance and win. The Braves closed out the season 10-3, 7-2 in SWAC play having won six of their last seven games. They were the top offense in the nation for several weeks while averaging over 45 points per game.

For the second consecutive year, the SWAC has boasted the BOXTOROW Offensive Player of the Year. Gibbs was also named the league’s co-offensive player of the year before helping the Braves capture their first 2014 SWAC title in 20 years. The championship game’s offensive MVP broke Alcorn legend Steve McNair’s single-season rushing record by a quarterback and became the first QB in program history to rush for 1,000 yards. He finished his junior season with a league-best 3,488 total offense yards.

Howard is the SWAC’s first newcomer of the year since 2010. He helped lead the Jaguars to their second consecutive western division title in his inaugural season. A Jerry Rice Award finalist, Howard completed 168 of 325 passes with only eight interceptions for 2,334 yards. His 87 yard bomb against Jackson State (Oct. 25) was the league’s longest of the season. Southern finished with a 9-4 overall record and league-best 8-1 conference record.

The SWAC led all conferences with 12 selections on the All-America team and six honorable mentions. Alcorn was the team leader among SWAC schools with six, followed by Alabama State University with four, and Prairie View A&M University at three. Mississippi Valley State University, Texas Southern University, and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff earned one selection each, respectively.

It's a very prestigious honor and is extremely selective. I mean, you can't even be CONSIDERED for their Most Improved Yard National Championship unless you live in our neighbhorhood!

Y'all need to stop being so racist. Way to go SWAC!

[bluedog]

A racist can affect someone's life in a negative manner.

Nobody here has that kind of power

A racist is simply somebody who believes that one race should triumph over other races. Whether or not a racist has any actual power is beside the point.

Mere bias and/or prejudice doesn't rise to the level of being a racist, though racists have significant bias and prejudice.

In the words of John Kerry, it's a nuanced thing..,.

[bluedog]

No that's simply having racist views, that's not being a racist.

Box to Row is done by a journalist named Donal Ware, who besides the talk show also writes regularly for Jet magazine. He has also done a lot of stuff for College Sports Journal through the years. He is one of the most knowledgeable folks I know on HBCU sports and also has a lot of contacts in the entertainment area. I actually vote in his poll and for the All-America team and players.
