Regardless of records, the Battle of the 'Boro is Murfreesboro's most exciting high school football rivalry.

The intensity will be heightened even more Friday night, however, when No. 1 and undefeated Oakland (3-0) plays host to undefeated Riverdale (4-0) in the Kia of Murfreesboro Game of the Week.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Oakland's Ray Hughes Stadium.
