Jackson State 28, Texas Southern 21: Tigers coach James Bell finally wins one. So the heat is off for a week. Houston Chronicle.
Alabama A&M 37, Mississippi Valley 0: So much for good times returning to Itta Bena. Valley can't score and can't stop anybody, a brutal combination. Greenwood Commonwealth.
