football coach in the school's senior college history. He is 65-42
overall in 10 Wingate seasons. Reich and the Bulldogs (8-2 overall)
won the SAC regular season championship and qualified for the NCAA
Division II play-offs for the first time in school history. Rich
Freeman is in his fourth season as the head football coach at
Morehouse College in 2010. He is 28-12 overall at the Maroon
Tigers' helm. The 2010 trip to the NCAA play-offs is the first such

passes and redshirt senior running back Nelson Woods had 26 carries
for a season-high 181 yards and two scores as the Bulldogs defeated
Newberry College 49-33. One of 24 regional candidates for the

and five scores. Bulldog redshirt senior wide receiver Delric

Maroon Tigers. In the NCAA play-offs, the SAC holds a 3-0 record
against the SIAC. Ten Bulldogs earned All-SAC honors, The Bulldogs
had four first-team selections and six second-team picks. Wingate
redshirt senior All-American Perry Floyd earned first team honors
