Graduate, former tennis player puts his roots down in Murfreesboro as director of Ticket Operations

Marco Born came to Middle Tennessee to play tennis, and by any measure that objective was a success.
As it turns out, however, the university had much more in store for him than groundstrokes and volleys. Born won a national championship as a Blue Raider; and, arguably of more importance, he found a career, a wife and a place to call home in Murfreesboro.
The road to MT wasn't direct for Born. From his home in Hannover in 2002, he put out feelers to head across the Atlantic, and eventually ended up at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville.
"I wrote an e-mail to all the tennis coaches in Division I back to see if they were interested in me coming over," Born said. "I had to come in the spring for eligibility because I was out of school for a while, and that's a pretty bad semester [to jump into] tennis."
FRANKLIN - A professional team of basketball players looking to get noticed by NBA scouts will call Franklin home this summer.
Starting in May, the Franklin Knights will be the seventh team to join the WBA Exposure League.
Knights owner/president Logan Sekulow this week will announce further details of plans for the inaugural season.
Sekulow, who had a Christian TV talk show in Nashville from 2005 to 2008, said the league's games will be a family-friendly sports entertainment show.
"We know the community has some of the biggest acts in Christian music, but we also know that being a community means more than that," Sekulow said in a statement.
