The Jackson State football team has won its first Southwestern Athletic Conference (http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071215/SPORTS030101/712150356/1073)championship since 1996 with a 42-31 victory over Grambling State.


The Tigers rode a Herculean effort by quarterback Jimmy Oliver, who was named Offensive Most Valuable Player by throwing for 249 yards and three touchdowns. Grambling hadn’t given up 42 points all season long.

JSU jumped out to a 28-12 halftime lead and looked had Grambling one foot in the grave. But the West Division champions weren’t ready to die quite yet.

Speaking of Northwestern, it looks like they are going to lose their coach.

I've heard that, Coach Rolle has won big in Dade County (3 state titles at 2 schools).
