Grambling St blocks kick, stops North Carolina Central 10-9
ATLANTA — Grambling State seized the opportunity when North Carolina Central’s Quentin Atkinson celebrated too much in the Celebration Bowl.
Grambling State blocked an extra-point kick set back 15 yards by Atkinson’s excessive celebration with just over two minutes left, holding off North Carolina Central 10-9 on Saturday in the bowl that decides bragging rights for historically black colleges and universities.
Joseph McWilliams surged in and swatted Brandon McLaren’s 35-yard try with 2:14 remaining to preserve the Tigers’ edge.
