Limestone Football’s Road Game Against Tusculum Has Been Relocated Due To Impact Of Hurricane Helene

The impact and aftermath of Hurricane Helene has forced the relocation of Limestone University’s South Atlantic Conference football game against Tusculum University this weekend.

The Saints were scheduled to visit Pioneer Field in Greeneville, TN, on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 1 p.m. However, due to the ongoing water outage in Greeneville and Greene County, the game has been moved to Lakeway Christian Academy, located 30 miles away in White Pine, TN. Kickoff will remain at 1 p.m. Gates open at 11:30 a.m. The game will also be live streamed on FloSports (subscription required).

For Saints fans traveling to the game, the 2,000-seat stadium with synthetic turf is located at 3720 Roy Messer Highway. Lakeway Christian Academy, a private middle and high school located on 43 acres, opened in the fall of 2020.

Parking and admission to Saturday’s game between the Saints and Pioneers will be free, but donations will be taken at the gate with all proceeds going toward the Tusculum Emergency Fund which will assist students, faculty, and staff who have been displaced due to the remnants of Hurricane Helene.

Limestone, 3-1 overall and 2-0 in conference play, looks to push its winning streak to three games, after outscoring the last two opponents by a combined score of 89-29. Tusculum is currently 0-3 overall and -0-2 in the SAC. The Pioneers have been outscored by a combined 132-52 through three games, falling to West Alabama 45-9, Newberry 50-20, and Lenoir-Rhyne 37-23.
