Ron Roberts, the defensive coordinator for Greensboro College in its inaugural season, will lead Delta State in the NCAA Division II championship game. The Statesmen (11-3) face Minnesota Duluth (13-0) at 10 am on Saturday in Florence, Alabama.

“Ron had something special and I’m not surprised at his success,” former Pride Head Coach Marion Kirby said. “I’ll be watching the game and pulling for them. They wear green and look a lot like the GC colors.”
