Not only did the MEAC/SWAC Challenge feature two HBCU football teams that hadn’t played a game in over 600 days, but it also featured two HBCU bands that hadn’t performed during that same time as well.
Saturday at Atlanta’s Center Parc Stadium, the marching bands from Alcorn State and North Carolina Central performed halftime shows in front of a national television audience on ESPN.
North Carolina Central defeated Alcorn State 23-14, which was considered by many to be a mild upset.
