Pippen

Saturday’s football game against Saint Augustine’s College left many fans wondering where Donnie Pippen has been. After being away for two years, the Eagles running back has returned. Due to academic problems, Pippen was forced to leave the field.

“I was in Durham working and I needed the time to get focused,” Pippen said.

Now a senior, Pippen is back running the field. He said that he is excited about his return.

Saturday’s game was put into Pippen’s hands, with 4:36 left in the game Pippen ran in for the game winning touchdown.

“I was thinking that I have to get into the box, when I had the ball everything was quiet, all I could do was focus,” Pippen said.

“People have been calling it the game winning touchdown, but I think the team just made a good play.”

Pippen is very proud of his team this year.

“My offensive line has been great, Richard “Kool-Aid” Gray and Ricardo Phillips have really been leading the guys,” Pippen said.
