Grambling baseball picked up wins No. 1 and 2 over the weekend, besting Texas-based NAIA Jarvis Christian by identical scores of 14-1 in the doubleheader home-weekend opener for first-year Tigers coach James Cooper.
More importantly, the squad might be finding a new leader in Eric Zagone, who took the mound for the nightcap on Saturday. He [...]
Keith Wagner, who served most recently in a brief stint as running backs coach at Winston-Salem, is set to join the staff at Grambling — though his new role remains unclear.
Coaches and administrators at Grambling have made no official hiring announcement since the offseason exits of James Spady and Jay Davis, former offensive coordinator and [...]
Grambling is homeward bound, finally.
The Tigers (0-7) make their belated weekend debut in Grambling against Jarvis Christian on Saturday, having played more baseball games than all but two Southwestern Athletic Conference foes — Texas Southern and Alabama A&M — and just one in the friendly confines.

“They are going to be well [...]
Grambling athletics director Lin Dawson calls the revenue split for the Port City Classic “the best possible deal” for GSU — and for LA Tech.
“What you have is a meeting of the minds to take care of our institutions,” he said.
Grambling’s Fred Hobdy won more college basketball games than any coach in Louisiana history, and was an integral part in the school’s only two undefeated seasons in football.
By Friday, the long-overdue honor of naming GSU’s new multi-purpose basketball facility after Hobdy will be complete. Grambling this week is officially petitioning its oversight committee, the University [...]
A zippy guard — listed as a junior in your program — sinks the shot that sends Grambling to overtime against Jackson State. When it’s over, he’s posted a career-high 29 points, and added four rebounds, four assists and two steals.
