This Week in Sports

October 13, 2008

MTSU’s Sun Belt championship hopes took a devastating blow Saturday with a 31-21 loss at Florida International. That drops the Raiders to 2-4 overall and 1-3 in conference play. MTSU will travel to Kentucky Saturday to battle the University of Louisville. You can listen to the game beginning at 1:30 for the Blue Raider Network pregame, 2:30 kickoff.

Middle Tennessee’s October 25th football game at Mississippi State has been selected as part of the Southeastern Conference television package and will be shown on ESPNU. So, kickoff for the game has been moved to 6 p.m. local time.

Earlier in the day on the 25th, WGNS will broadcast the Rutherford County Middle School Championship football game. Pregame begins at 1:15 with a 1:30 kickoff from Smyrna’s Robert Raikes Stadium. Opponents will be decided just days before the game because of the close league play. The game will feature Central Middle, Siegel Middle or LaVergne Middle. Two of those three.

Region 4-5A football teams return to action this Friday night, after being off last Friday for fall break:

LaVergne at Smyrna
Oakland at Lebanon
Riverdale at Wilson Central
Blackman at Siegel (on WGNS)
