Commerce – The Commerce Tigers hit the road tonight to face the Paris Wildcats. Commerce is coming of a 55-0 win over Community last week, while tonight marks the season opener for Paris. Commerce barely edged out the Wildcats last season 17 to 14. Kick-off is set for 7:30, with live coverage here on 88.9 beginning at 7.

The A&M-Commerce Lions host the Tarleton State Texans tomorrow for their home opener. The Lions will be hungry for the win after dropping their first game to Southern Arkansas 7 to 14. This week marks the first game of the season for Tarleton State. The Texans defeated A&M-Commerce 42 to 16 in last season's meeting, gaining 419 total yards on offense. It will be a test for the Lions, who are hungry to get their season rolling in the right direction.
