Three former Middletown High School football players were close to home Thursday night, Nov. 12, when the Bowling Green State University football team traveled to Oxford for a Mid-American Conference battle with Miami University.

Senior wide receiver Chris Wright, and freshmen offensive linemen Chip Robinson and Blaec Walker play for the Falcons, who won the game 35-14.

Coming into the game, Wright was the team’s second-leading wide receiver with 33 receptions for 451 yards and two touchdowns, which already is more than he had all of last season. He added one more catch for 9 yards against the RedHawks.

For his career at BG, Wright has 82 receptions for 1,079 yards and six touchdowns.
