Are games now allowed to be televised on Fridays?

[Bosqueville]

I’m hearing that Brownwood vs Brock will be on ESPN but that game is scheduled for a Friday.

[canno]

They moved the start time 5:30 so it could be televised

Brock vs Brownwood on ESPN? What big-star recruit is playing in that game that's drawing the big network?

The "Jet" of course!

[H3llR4z0r]

I may actually get to watch this then.

I believe that ESPN has had a crew at Brownwood and Brock this summer doing little stories and background info on the schools. I would guess it would be along the lines of Texas High School football with a look at Brownwood's History and Brocks new status and up and coming power. I guess the filler portion of the story will end with the broadcast of the game.

(Old Timer Alert)

They had a group in the early 70's do a similar thing with us and Iowa Park who had recently moved up in classification with crews at each school. It followed us for the full season up to our game with Iowa Park. I remember the coach's were not thrilled and told everyone just to ignore them and go about our business....(right lol)

yea right, ignore the cameras lol... last season when Cuero played Yoakum, about 1 minute after kickoff, the maroon helicopter carrying a certain SEC Coach slowly flew over Gobbler Stadium, circled over and then parked in the middle of the practice field next door - 98% of the stadium AND field was rubber necking... Just human nature :hijacktd:

I can 100% assure everyone that ESPN is not broadcasting any Friday night UIL games live

..... until they decide they really want to.

..... until they decide they really want to.

I think they are doing a private school game on Friday but ESPN won't be doing any UIL games on Friday nights in 2018...I can guarantee that

[canno]

We were told today by the school administration that the game will be on fox sports not ESPN

Never place a guarantee on something that can be changed by money.

Ahh Fox Sports. that makes more sense.

[d0tc0m]

Ahh Fox Sports. that makes more sense.


Much more sense. I wonder if it'll be one of the live look-in games, or an actual, televised game?

[Bosqueville]

Everything I have heard and read says it's the entire game broadcast. I'm sure it's like last year with a game at 5:30 and a game at 8:30.

[Matthew328]

There will be an announcement Monday at Coaching School about the live games Week 1

[BwdLion73]

While waiting for Monday.... the morning news again said the game will be broadcast live with a second game to follow? They also said that during the Brownwood/Brock game they will be looking in on 10 other Texas High School games?

:vrycnfsd:

[Scoop27]

El Campo and Wharton The River Battle would be good game to be televised

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - FOX Sports Southwest, in conjunction with the University Interscholastic League, today announced the return of Texas Football Days during a press conference at the Texas High School Coaches Association’s annual Coaching School and Convention in San Antonio. FSSW’s Texas Football Days, presented by Jack in the Box, will begin Sunday, Aug. 26.

Headlining the week-long gridiron celebration is an exclusive live broadcast of a Texas high school football doubleheader on Friday, Aug. 31. The featured marquee match-ups will be Brock at Brownwood from Gordon Wood Stadium at 5:30 p.m. CT, followed by the rivalry game between Lufkin and Longview from Lobo Stadium at 8:30 p.m. CT.

For the first time, teams involved will be competing to take home a Texas Football Days trophy to commemorate the official start to the 2018 season.

“The goal of Texas Football Days is to celebrate and capture the cultural significance of football in Texas with unique stories that highlight our communities, legends and traditions,” said FOX Sports Southwest Sr. Vice President/General Manager Steve Simpson. “Our partners – UIL, THSCA and THSADA – helped turn our vision into an award-winning reality in 2017, and we look forward to delivering Texas Football Days again this season.”

“We were thrilled with the success of the inaugural Texas Football Days last year and are very excited to see this event continue and grow,” said Dr. Charles Breithaupt, UIL Executive Director. “FSSW is committed to celebrating and showcasing Texas high school football and the Friday night experience for high schools across the state, and Texas Football Days does that in a wonderful way.”

Texas Football Days officially launches Sunday, Aug. 26, with the debut of Texas High School Football Season Preview at 7:00 p.m. CT on FSSW. The 60-minute special will be hosted by Erin Hartigan, with Ric Renner and Texas Football Managing Editor Greg Tepper offering up insight and expertise heading into the 2018 football season.

Additionally, FSSW will feature programming centered around football in the Lone Star State throughout the week, complete with replays of classic high school and collegiate games including last season’s UIL 5A Division I Championship battle between Highland Park and Manvel.

FSSW will deliver a 15-hour Texas high school football broadcast marathon on Friday, Aug. 31 starting at 10:30 a.m. Included is a special edition of Football Friday that will kick off live coverage from Gordon Wood Stadium at 4:30 p.m. CT. Hartigan will host the one-hour show, with legendary coach Ken Purcell and Brad McCoy adding analysis and Sarah Merrifield reporting. Football Friday will lead into coverage of the live doubleheader with game previews, custom features and a look in at gameday activities across the state.

Ted Emrich will handle play-by-play for the Brock-Brownwood game alongside McCoy, who will provide analysis, with Hartigan and Merrifield reporting from the sideline. The broadcast team on-site at Lobo Stadium for the Lufkin-Longview matchup will be play-by-play man Mark Followill, analyst Shea Walker and sideline reporter Jen Hale.

In addition to the two marquee Texas high school football match-ups on Aug. 31, FSSW will deliver live look-ins at 10 games across the state, capturing the local pageantry, fanfare and game updates throughout the night:

• Euless Trinity at Waco Midway
• Galena Park North Shore at Katy

Had one in the south last year that the hurricane wiped out

[regaleagle]

I'm sure they will schedule something like Goliad vs Yoakum or Edna or Hallettsville.......that district is crazy loaded this season. George West is in it too and lesser ranked, but definitely in the mix.
