Morgan football practice underway

BALTIMORE, Maryland  --  The Morgan State football team has been in pre-season practice for a little over a week now, preparing for their season opener at Army on Aug. 30.

Coach Donald Hill-Eley, starting his 12th season with the Bears, began practice on Aug. 2 with a team that brings back 62 lettermen and 18 starters from the 2012 team. The Bears will work through the month and their final pre-season scrimmage is scheduled for Aug. 22 at Hughes Stadium at 7 p.m.

The Bears are hopeful of a better season in 2013, something the players talked about recently.

"We're excited to get started," said cornerback Joe Rankin on the school's website. "The entire team has worked hard all summer long to prepare, and I felt a big push from our underclassmen. We've definitely made the days count, instead of counting down the days."
