Henry Frazier, head football coach at North Carolina Central University, will be the guest speaker at Wednesday’s Raleigh Sports Club meeting.

Frazier was hired Dec. 16, 2010 after finishing a seven-year stint at Prairie View A&M, where he compiled a 43-30 record. Prior to Frazier, Prairie View’s program had endured an 80-game losing streak – the nation’s longest from 1989 to 1998 – and struggled through back-to-back 1-10 seasons in 2002 and 2003. After starting in 2004 with a 3-8 record, Frazier coached Prairie View to four consecutive winning records in 2007 through 2010, including consecutive 9-1 records in 2008 and 2009 and a Southwestern Athletic Conference title.

In 2009, he became the first coach from a historically black college program to win the Eddie Robinson Award given annually by The Sports Network to the top coach in the Football Championship Subdivision. Frazier is 69-54 overall in 12 years as a head coach, including five seasons at his alma mater, Bowie State University, where he compiled a 26-24 record.

Lauren Saxby, a volleyball player at Wakefield High School, will be honored as the Student Athlete of the Week.

The meetings emphasize friendship, fellowship, weekly door prizes, pick sheets, and great food. This is the 49th year of The Raleigh Sports Club.
