on a roll

Delta State-William Carey is a nice little intrastate rivalry between two small colleges with proud traditions. When they meet Wednesday in Hattiesburg, the game could have more significance than usual. DSU coach Mike Kinnison can break Boo Ferriss’ school career mark for victories in that game. Kinnison picked up Nos. 637, 638 and 639 (tying Ferriss’ mark) this weekend as the Statesmen swept past Arkansas-Monticello in their first Gulf South Conference series of the season. (In fact, DSU outscored UAM 41-11, but that dominance is just a footnote here.) Kinnison, who played for the legendary Ferriss, will be inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame this summer. You might say he’s having a good year.
P.S. If DSU loses to Carey, Kinnison’s next shot at the record W will come next Saturday at Southern Arkansas in a GSC doubleheader.
