The joy of victory Sunday did not last long for Deion Sanders and Jackson State.
After a 53-0 victory over Edward Waters in Sanders’ coaching debut, “Prime Time” discovered belongings had been robbed from his locker.
Sanders said credit cards, a cell phone and a wallet had been taken.
“I have mixed emotions,” Sanders said after the romp. “The kids played really well. While the game was going on somebody came in stole every darn thing I had in the locker room, in the coach’s office. …
“How do you think it feels? Coming back, teary-eyed because the guys had presented me with the game ball. One of the best moments I had in my professional sports career emotionally. And then you go into your locker room and you notice you don’t even have a phone to call your momma, your girl, your kids, because it’s been stolen. You don’t even have the Scutlly hat that you wore here. We’re gonna find out who did it.”
