Bears play host to Station Camp Thursday –
Mt. Juliet football is scheduled to play the first of three consecutive Thursday night games tonight as the Golden Bears take on Region 5, 5A opponent Station Camp.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Roger Perry Field.

Since a 27-18 season-opening loss at Gallatin, the Bears have reeled off four straight wins — averaging 39.7 points per game while only allowing 11.5 per contest.

Station Camp at 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the region is more than a worthy adversary.
