Now we want to finish the week strong and prepare the right way for Durham.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\\The Golden Bulls have been climbing for years. Flowers, a proud JCSU alum and former player, rebuilt the program <em><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLf2l922yqAyUVM_sGOFTJB7ukTFvwLazN&amp;si=0ekxeCQHCkQNCjDl\">brick by brick<\/a><\/em> into one of the most complete teams in HBCU Division II football.

Championships are won when it\u2019s cold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That phrase has become more than a motto. Practices this week have stayed sharp and demanding \u2014 no hoodies under helmets, no excuses, no soft reps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t even use the word \u2018cold,\u2019\u201d Flowers added. \u201cWe must play well when the weather changes because that\u2019s when champions are made.\u201d As a result, the Bulls enter Saturday tougher, tighter, and mentally locked in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Brick x Brick with JCSU Football | SzN III | Weather the Storm | HBCUGameDay.com\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DX7gVH_X12o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-facing-the-reigning-champs-again\"><strong>Facing the Reigning Champs Again<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday\u2019s opponent is familiar: Virginia Union, the back-to-back CIAA champion and the only team that beat JCSU this season. \u201cWe respect Virginia Union,\u201d Flowers said. \u201cThey\u2019ve got a great staff, they recruit well, and they teach well. But we\u2019ve beaten that program before. We just have to do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, he knows what went wrong last time. \u201cWe didn\u2019t handle third and fourth downs the way we should have,\u201d Flowers admitted. \u201cThose moments decide games. That\u2019s what we worked on all week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, he wants execution \u2014 not emotion \u2014 to decide the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alumni-pride-and-charlotte-energy\"><strong>Alumni Pride and Charlotte Energy<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the field, the championship carries emotional weight. For Flowers, this run is about restoring pride to both the HBCU and the city that raised him. \u201cAs a Charlottean, I\u2019ve seen the lean years,\u201d he said. \u201cIt feels good because Charlotte is a top city in the world. We\u2019ve got winners here, and I\u2019m proud to represent Johnson C. Smith as a winner in Charlotte.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, alumni from the 1969 championship team continue to rally behind the Bulls. They\u2019ve shown up with rings on their fingers and a message in their hearts: <em>\u201cIt\u2019s your turn.\u201d<\/em> \u201cAnytime your name gets mentioned with Coach Eddie McGirt, that\u2019s major,\u201d Flowers said. \u201cBut we\u2019re not done.
