Smith’s heroics sends Campbell past D-III Chowan 49-26
BUIES CREEK, N.C. (AP) — In a story Aug. 30 about the Chowan-Campbell college football game, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Chowan is a NCAA Division III member. Chowan is a NCAA Division II member.
A corrected version of the story is below:
