Wildcats Host Savannah St. In Speedway Battle

Updated: Thursday, June 30, 2016, 8:52 p.m.

Heavily favored Bethune-Cookman College plays Savannah State College (0-4) at 2 p.m. today at
Daytona International Speedway.

A crowd of 7,000 to 8,000 is expected to see the undefeated Wildcats in their bid for victory No. 5.

Coach John Myles of the Savannah State Tigers concedes his team has been hurt by lack of depth and
adds:

"We thought we'd have an 8-2 season, but somewhere, down the line, something derailed us. I can't
put me finger on it exactly, but I detected dissension and a non-togetherness on the team. We're
hoping this has been corrected. If we get a total team effort we may surprise a lot of people, including
Bethune."

Wildcat Coach Wes Moore said he respects Coach Myles and is aware of leadership potential of No.
14 - Keith Camp, 6 foot 2 Tiger quarterback.

"They always play a good game against us. They've beaten us twice in the past five years so we're not
taking anything for granted," Moore said at the end of Friday's practice.

"They'd like nothing better than to upset us for the prestige it would provide them," he added.

Moore hasn't forgotten four years ago when the Wildcats were going well until they ran into Savannah
State, which came from behind to win by three points in the closing minutes.

The Wildcats will go with the same starting lineup as that used to beat Albany State 29-6 last Saturday,
except that Reggie Beverly will start at
quarterback. Willie Collins started in the Albany State game.

Among the players in today's game who are expected to be pro draft choices are Wildcats Arnold
Robinson.
Willie (Foots) Lee and James (Bull) Mackey and Tiger Lee Blitch, free safety and all SIAC in
1974.

The Wildcat backfield will be Beverly, Albert Anderson, Terry Anderson and Bernard Coleman or Dwight
Allen.

Outscoring the opposition 128 points to 39, Bethune-Cookman would welcome today's "breather"
against the Tigers if it turns out that way.

The Wildcats face their toughest game next Saturday at the Speedway when they tackle Tuskegee
Institute before a crowd of 15,000 to 17,000 fans.
