Morgan State Celebrates Homecoming and Coach Damon Wilson’s 100th Career Win

Morgan State University had a lot to celebrate last weekend as the football team secured a resounding 41-0 victory over CIAA opponent Lincoln (Pa.). The win was not only a triumph on the field but also a significant milestone for Bears head coach Damon Wilson, marking his 100th career win as a head coach.

For Wilson, the achievement was a true blessing and a testament to his dedication to impacting and helping others. Reflecting on his coaching journey, which included three CIAA championships at Bowie State before joining Morgan State in 2022, Wilson emphasized the importance of the relationships and life lessons he has shared with his players over the years.

The victory was made even sweeter by the fact that it coincided with the university’s homecoming celebrations, which had been disrupted the previous year due to a shooting incident on campus. Wilson expressed his gratitude for the administration’s efforts to ensure a safe and enjoyable homecoming experience, noting the overwhelming support from alumni and supporters throughout the festivities.

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 building on their recent success and continuing to make an impact both on and off the field.
