(Stats Perform) - John T. Grant, executive director of the Celebration Bowl, marvels over the way North Carolina A&T has come to dominate the annual matchup between the MEAC and SWAC champions.

He credits athletic director Earl Hilton III, former coach Rod Broadway and the Aggies for sparking the momentum.

"It's without question, the strategies they put in place, the focus on bringing in the right personnel, the emphasis the administration has placed on athletics," Grant said, "has led to a very successful turnaround in their football program. We applaud them for their success and it became evident in the fact that they won four out of five Celebration Bowls."
