Valdosta State to play for title

VALDOSTA - Valdosta State fans and officials alike are getting ready for an unexpected trip to the Division Two title game Saturday in Florence, Alabama. <br> <br> The Blazers face Grand Valley State in Michigan after a 21-12 semifinal win over Texas A&M Kingsville. And they&#39;re sure to have their hands full. <br> <br> Grand Valley State&#39;s (13-0) David Kircus set an all-division, single-season record in touchdown catches with 32, including four in the 44-7 semifinal win over Northern Colorado. The Division 1-A mark is 27 TD catches, set by Louisiana Tech&#39;s Troy Edwards in 1998. <br> <br> Worsening matters for the Blazers (14-0) is the injury of star cornerback Chris Fowler, who leads the team with seven interceptions. He hurt his knee colliding with Kingsville quarterback Abel Gonzales in the fourth quarter. <br> <br> No one had expected the Blazers to go to the title game. Graduation ceremonies had been scheduled for the same day. Players&#39; exams had to be rescheduled. <br> <br> The last time Valdosta State won a national title was 1979, in baseball.
