He’s no secret, but Virginia State’s Trent Cannon sure is a weapon.
The VSU running back scored three touchdowns, including two back-breaking runs in the second half, to help lead his team to a 42-19 win over Fayetteville State to claim the CIAA championship.
Cannon broke the CIAA Championship Game rushing record with 186 yards, aided by a 73 yard touchdown run in the third quarter and a 79 yarder in the fourth quarter to effectively kill the Broncos hopes of a comeback.
Quarterback Cordelral Cook had a solid all-around game as well, throwing for 169 yards and two touchdowns and running for a 57 yard score to boot.
Cook, Cannon and their VSU teammates handed Reggie Barlow his first championship as a head coach.
