Our Story

Built in Baltimore

The Bay City Armada are a new semi-pro football organization in Baltimore, Maryland, founded by owner and head coach Jobin “Bighouse” Wilson. Baltimore has given him championships, lifelong friendships, and a deep love for the game. The Armada are his way of giving back to the community that has always supported him.

The Armada exist to give grown men a fair place to play football, in an organization that respects them, with coaches who understand that respect is earned on both sides.

A Coach’s Journey

Coach Wilson’s journey in Baltimore semi-pro football began long before the Armada. From 2010 through 2013 he coached the Baltimore Broncos and won a championship in 2012.

In 2014 he founded the Charm City Assassins. In 2019 the Assassins won the first championship in franchise history, his second as a coach, and they returned to the championship game two more times. Every one of those seasons taught something about leadership, perseverance, brotherhood, and building a team the right way.

Our Mission

Building champions on the field. Building better men beyond it. The Armada will compete for championships while making a lasting, positive impact in Baltimore through community service, mentorship, and charity, and by playing with passion, pride, sportsmanship, and respect.

The Purpose

“Our goal is to win championships. Our purpose is to make a difference.” If the Armada can help one family, encourage one young person, or make a positive difference in one man’s life, they will have accomplished something meaningful.

The Armada have not yet won their first championship as the Armada. That achievement is ahead, and they intend to earn it with preparation, sacrifice, and unity. We are building more than a football team. We are building a brotherhood, a championship tradition, and a legacy Baltimore can be proud of.
