Renegades face Roughnecks in XFL South Division title game

While most area pro football fans will have their eye on the third day of the NFL draft on Saturday, a few may turn their attention to the XFL semifinal.

The Arlington Renegades travel to the Houston Roughnecks on Saturday at 6 p.m. for the South Division championship at TDECU Stadium. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.

The Roughnecks (7-3) won the South Division and beat the Renegades (4-6) twice during the season, winning 23-14 on Feb. 26 in Houston and 25-9 on April 23 in Arlington.

The winner of Saturday’s South Division title game advances to the XFL championship game on May 13 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.

The D.C. Defenders (9-1) and the Seattle Sea Dragons (7-3) meet on Sunday in the XFL’s Northern Division championship game.
