The off season has already started for all except two teams in Division II, which means it’s time for a recap. Relatively speaking, the conference actually did better than last year across the board. It may not feel like it with individual teams, but I think so when looking across the national and regional landscape. Let’s talk about some of the good and not so good.

Good: First and foremost, Bowie State did the conference a solid by advancing out of the first round. It was ...

The rumors of their demise are greatly exaggerated. Such was the case of the Fayetteville State “Cardiac” Broncos, who picked up last year’s stride of finishing with late game heroics.

The second half featured the Broncos facing a seven point deficit well into the fourth quarter. In the span of a minute, ...
