MBA in the Kirk Herbstreit Series


CINCINNATI – Montgomery Bell Academy will take a 1-0 record into a showdown with powerful Cincinnati Moeller in the Herbstreit Varsity Football Series Presented by BURGER KING® on August 31 in Paul Brown Stadium.

MBA is one of 30 teams who will play 15 games in two days in Texas and Ohio as part of the Kirk Herbstreit Series.

The 2007 Tennessee D-II state champions play Moeller at noon on Sunday.

"We're excited to once again showcase some of the best high school football teams in the country and give these young men the chance to play on a national stage," Kirk Herbstreit said. "Giving these young people an opportunity to play on national television in one of the best stadiums in the country and, in some cases, fly with their teammates to Ohio and Texas is a very rewarding experience for all of the event organizers, including myself. We all believe that high school football builds great character and can teach lessons that will stay with these players the rest of their lives."

MBA defeated Antioch 45-19 to kickoff the 2008 season.
