STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) — The Battle for the Golden Egg is only days away, but another rivalry competition began this morning.

Mississippi State University ROTC members left Starkville with the game ball, and ran it to the square in Calhoun City this afternoon. That’s where Ole Miss ROTC cadets received the football to take it to Oxford.

The cadets took turns running two or three miles during the second annual Egg Bowl Run.

“These cadets, some were commissioned this year and this time next year they can be in Afghanistan or Iraq,” MSG Matt Hayes with the Ole Miss ROTC said. “So, it’s a great time to come together and bring that comradery between the two schools.”

The Calhoun City Chamber of Commerce sponsored a number of activities for the ceremony, including a Best Team Spirit award.
