THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER

PAGE D7

CLASSIC ► Continued from Page 8 The Bulldogs’ dominating effort was highlighted by the performance of senior running back Coty Martin, who fueled the SCSU offense to the tune of a Classicrecord and persona best 156 yards on 28 carries. Martin s career game came at the right time for South Carolina State, as senior quarterback Brett Young left the game late in the first half with a separated shoulder. The game’s offensive MVP, Martin and fellow backfield mate DeShawn Baker changed the complexion of the game through a rushing attack for which TSU was clearly unprepared. “I felt like I needed to put the team on my shoulders,” said Martin. “Not saying the other quarterbacks couldn’t step up, but when (Young) went down, I just felt like I needed to do something special.” A twist of styles, the Bulldogs not only ran all over TSU, the defense held Tigers’ All-America tailback Charles Anthony to a mere 57 yards, more than 100 off of his average. And, with Young’s status up in the air for their showdown at Norfolk State this weekend, Martin knows he is going to have to be

prepared to bring it as he did for the locals last weekend. “I’m always up for every game, but everyone gets psyched for games like this,” he said. “It lets us know we can work together as a team. We have to keep it going.” For the struggling Tigers, SatiTrday’s rout is one the team will simply have to shake off if they

want to compete in the Ohio Valley Conference. The team has lost two straight after winning their first three of the season, and with an Ohio Valley Conference clash against conference-leader Jacksonville State looming, TSU may do well to forget the fact they could not get anything going on either side of the ball vs. the Bulldogs.

During a recent visit to Mays Chemical Co (MCC) Lamon Brewster, the WBO champion discussed Black economic development with BUI Mays, president of MCC. Brewster is pictured above with Arthur L. Carter Sr., (top right) alongside Kristin Mays and (right) standing next to Matthew Murphy.

TARDY ► Continued from Page 8 Tardy says he has no problem catching footballs instead of throwing them and Tiller likes what he sees. “Desmond is already running past people,” he said. “He’s a great kid and he’s going to be a great player at Purdue.” Tardy is gaining key experience with the Boiler-

makers especially after their 4-0 start this season. He says that although he’s having fun he’s taken notice to the difference between high school and college football. “It’s a lot faster,” he said. “The guys are bigger and they are more focused. But my plan is to work hard and to live up to my expectations.”
