Coach Mark Dantonio led his Spartans through the annual spring football scrimmage at Spartan Stadium Saturday.

We chat with Current Sports host Al Martin about the spring MSU football game, the Battlefield Brawl charity flag football game, and the Pistons exit from the NBA playoffs.

It was a busy weekend in sports. The Pistons fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers last night at the Palace, eliminating Detroit from the NBA playoffs. The annual Michigan State spring football game took place, drawing a record crowd of 51,000 at Spartan Stadium to witness the intrasquad matchup. The Battlefield Brawl charity flag football tournament brought out local celebrities and former MSU athletes on Sunday to participate with a goal of raising money and awareness to children fighting illnesses.

Current Sports host Al Martin has a recap of all the action.

Al Martin is the host of Beyond the Score, a new series coming to WKAR in the fall of 2024. Al is also sports reporter for WKAR news.
