GRR: MTSU
Central Florida and Florida State will be playing for the South Independent Conference championship Sunday after both won their semis over their Northern rivals Saturday.
FSU defeated Kennesaw State 43-7 on Saturday. Frazer Baron, Kody Boswell, Cameron Chadsey, and Anthony Soto all scored tries. Evan Barada scored two, and FSU also got a penalty try.
The South Independent Rugby Conference’s North Division probably comes down to this weekend.
At least, who will be 1st in the division comes down to this weekend, as Middle Tennessee State hosts Kennesaw State. MTSU is 6-0, while KSU is 4-1. If MTSU loses, they aren’t really out of the picture for 1st, but if they win, then it’s pretty much game over.
The spring college 7s season still has plenty to go before it culminates with the USA 7s National Championships and then the CRC, but it is underway.
The South Independent Rugby Conference could have settled all discussion last week with MTSU playing Memphis and Florida International playing UCF, but it’s not quite that way.
This might be a rebuilding year for Middle Tennessee State University, but don't tell the rest of the South Independent that.
MTSU has knocked off major rivals Kennesaw State and, most recently, Memphis. That win ut MTSU at 4-0 in the SIRC North, and in excellent shape as they enter the winter break.
