CIAA GRID STARS: North Carolina Central
freshman quarterback Stadford Brown, who led
the 
defending champion Eagles to an unbeaten (10-0) regular
season and a spot in their second straight conference title
game, has been chosen as the CIAA
offensive player of the year and nine of his teammates were also named
all-conference first teamers. The voting by league coaches was
unveiled Monday. Brown, from Washington, D.C., assumed
the reins of the Eagles' offense at the beginning of the season and
has never let go passing for a NCCU record-tying 24
touchdowns while topping the league's passing stats.
St. Augustine's linebacker Kevin Jones was named defensive player of the year while Elizabeth City State punter
Kevin Dodson won the special teams player of the year award. Dodson averaged
41.2 yards per punt.
