Berg.jpgJerome Berg was head coach of Mayville State Comet football teams from 1956 to 1966. During that tenure, Coach Berg’s teams won 62 games and lost only 20. This run included six conference titles. Coach Berg retired from coaching in 1966. He died in January of 2011, at the age of 84.

Coach Berg was a player’s coach who was highly respected by all who had the opportunity to be on one of his teams. Many team members have passed on. It was suggested that those who are still able should gather one more time to honor and celebrate the Comet coaching days of Jerome Berg.

With that in mind, the MSU Foundation and Alumni Association have declared the Homecoming/Farmers Bowl Weekend of September 27 and 28 as a time to bring all Berg-coached Comet team members together for a reunion.

Please mark your calendar for this memorable event. DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT WITH FORMER TEAMMATES AND FRIENDS AND SPEND A LITTLE TIME ON THE MAYVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.
