The Best in Sports in the Next 7 Days

Friday, Oct. 1

High school football, Greenwood at Callaway, 7 p.m.: This game at Hughes Field brings back memories of some epic clashes back in the days of the old Big Eight Conference. … Also, Murrah at Madison Central, 7:30 p.m. (620 AM): The irony of this game is that many Murrah graduates are now the parents and grandparents of Madison Central students. … Brandon at Northwest Rankin, 7 p.m. (1180 AM, 104.3 FM): Meanwhile, a pair of Rankin County rivals will rumble out in one of those unincorporated areas.

Saturday, Oct. 2

College football, Delta State at Valdosta State, noon (1240 AM): The mighty Statesmen face the Gulf South Conference's resident powerhouse. Expect lots of passing and points. … Also, Arkansas State at Ole Miss, 1 p.m. (97.3 FM): The Rebels are in disarray, but they should get their act together long enough to beat the Indians. … Cycling, Paul Moak Volvo MS 150 Ride Through History: Riders will begin in Clinton and spend the night in Vicksburg. It costs $50, and riders will spend the night in Vicksburg. The ride benefits the Mississippi chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Call 1-800-344-4867 (option 2).

Sunday, Oct. 3

Pro football, New Orleans at Arizona, 3:15 p.m. (Ch. 35 and 620 AM): Doctor S reminds you that today is the final day of Major League Baseball's regular season (except for the hurricane make-up games). Nobody gives a damn, so watch the Saints travel to the desert. There's no way the winless Cardinals should beat the Saints. Naturally, they will.

Monday, Oct. 4

Pro football, Kansas City at Baltimore, 8 p.m. (Ch. 16 and 930 AM): This has the makings of a real dog game, so go see "Gypsy 83" at the Indie Film Series instead, out at Parkway Place on Lakeland.

Tuesday, Oct. 5

College football, Jackson State highlights show, 7 p.m. (Time Warner Ch. 61): If you're a loyal Tigers' fan or just a masochist, this is a must-see.
