Morgan State is broadening its sports horizons. In the twilight between the basketball and football seasons, a Morgan Lacrosse team fights for their own space in the Morgan spotlight.
"I love this game," said Marc Brooks, using the NBA slogan for his own passion.
Brooks, a left wing attack, has played with the team since its inception last semester. He is just one of over 40 players to lace up their lacrosse sticks for the new Morgan State lacrosse club team. Not yet an officially MSU sponsored sport, these students are playing purely because they love the game.
"I think it is the greatest thing that has happened since I played for Morgan in '81," said Gene White, the club team coach.
White has been a major influence in the team's success. Drawing on his own experiences playing on the lacrosse collegiate level, he tries to help the current incarnation of Morgan's lacrosse team focus their skills and take their talents to the next level.
"We are really better than most of the club teams out there," said Brooks.
"We faced Howard and Johns Hopkins' club teams, and we are still undefeated."
After having success on the club team level, Morgan's young men are ready to graduate from a club team and become an official Morgan State sponsored team.
