Morgan State Celebrates Homecoming and Coach Wilson’s 100th Career Win
Morgan State University had a lot to celebrate last weekend as the Bears football team secured a dominant 41-0 victory over CIAA opponent Lincoln (Pa.). The win was not only a significant milestone for head coach Damon Wilson, marking his 100th career win, but it also allowed the university to finally enjoy homecoming festivities after a shooting incident had disrupted last year’s events.
For Wilson, the achievement of 100 wins was a humbling experience. Reflecting on his coaching career, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to impact and help others, which ultimately led to his success on the field. Wilson acknowledged the support he received from former colleagues and mentors, emphasizing that reaching 100 wins is a rare feat in the coaching world.
In addition to the personal milestone, Wilson was thrilled to see the Morgan State community come together for a joyous homecoming celebration. Despite the challenges faced in the past, the university ensured safety measures were in place, allowing alumni, supporters, and fans to enjoy a day filled with festivities leading up to the game. The team’s victory was the perfect ending to a day of unity and spirit, with Wilson expressing his gratitude to everyone who contributed to the successful event.
Looking ahead, the Bears are gearing up for their next challenge as they prepare to face FCS independent Merrimack at Hughes Stadium. With MEAC play on the horizon, Wilson and his team are focused on continuing their success on the field while cherishing the moments of unity and celebration that make the Morgan State community special.
