A&T's statue ceremony becomes tradition for football team

By Jeff Mills [email protected]Oct 6, 2017
GREENSBORO — It’s peaceful in the grove, the ring of tall, old trees muffling the sounds of traffic along Dudley Street.
It’s a quiet place in front of N.C. A&T’s stately Dudley Building, where wide stone steps lead to doors beyond six towering pillars.
Out front stands a statue. Four proud figures in overcoats, cast in bronze, in lockstep forever.
Every week during the football season, A&T’s team gathers here. There’s a short ceremony, a few moments of hushed reflection before the sound and fury of the game they play.
“It gets you in the mindset of game day,” wide receiver Malik Wilson says. “I’m ready to play. I’m focused. I think, ‘They did something bigger than themselves,’ and that puts me in the mindset to do something bigger than myself.”
It’s become a tradition, a gathering Rod Broadway started in 2012, his second season as the Aggies head coach.
