Winston-Salem State grounds crew uses creativity for field prep

Ahead of a home football game on October 14, Winston-Salem State University's grounds crew painted the field lines by hand, without a stencil, at Bowman Gray Stadium. Athletic Director Eric Burns acknowledged that the field markings did not meet standards and accepted responsibility for the mishap. The Rams suffered a loss to Bowie State University, marking their sixth consecutive defeat this season, as they seek their first win. Burns announced that additional field preparation support and quality checks have been secured for the upcoming game against Bluefield State on October 17.
