FSN SOUTHWEST ANNOUNCES DODGE

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME OF THE WEEK

10-Game Package Will Showcase Top Teams From Texas

FSN Southwest, which has telecast the Texas high school Class 5A Division I and Division II state championship football games since 1994, will telecast a live weekly Texas high school football game for the first time in 2007. The network has teamed with Dodge to present the DODGE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME OF THE WEEK, a 10-game package of regular-season games featuring the state’s top teams that will be shown in FSN Southwest’s five-state region covering Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and parts of New Mexico.

To comply with University Interscholastic League rules prohibiting live football telecasts on Friday nights, the games will be played on either Thursdays or Saturdays, beginning tomorrow (Aug. 30) when Houston Stratford hosts Cypress Fairbanks at 7:00 PM CT.

While most games will be carried live on FSN Southwest in all markets, there are some occasions when professional sports programming conflicts will occur in certain markets. On those dates, the high school game will be available in the affected markets on FSN Plus, an alternate feed offered to cable systems and cleared on a local channel. Check with the cable system in your market for availability and FSN Plus channel numbers. All games also will air live on DirecTV and Dish Network and on Fox College Sports.

The regional DODGE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME OF THE WEEK is in addition to the previously announced national NIKE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME OF THE WEEK telecast on FSN regional networks across the country.

Two of the Texas regional games have been elevated to the national package. Euless Trinity, ranked 6th in the preseason Texas Associated Press Class 5A poll and coming off a 22-21 playoff loss last year to two-time defending national champion Southlake Carroll, travels to meet West Texas powerhouse Odessa Permian on Saturday, Sept. 15 at 6:30 PM CT. John Curtis Christian (River Ridge, La.), ranked 15th in USA Today’s Super 25 national preseason poll, travels to Longview on Saturday, Sept. 22 for an 11:00 AM CT kickoff.

Other confirmed games on the DODGE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME OF THE WEEK regional schedule include San Antonio O’Connor at San Antonio Madison on Thursday, Sept. 6 at 7:00 PM CT; Rockwall at South Garland on Thursday, Oct. 18 at 7:00 PM CT; Cinco Ranch at Katy on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 11:00 AM CT; and Texas AP preseason Class 5A No. 8 Allen at Plano East on Thursday, Nov. 8 at 7:30 PM CT. More games will be added to the schedule and will be announced later.

Former Texas high school standouts Shea Walker and Chris Sanders will join play-by-play voices Craig Way and Kevin Eschenfelder to form the announcing teams. Walker, the 1981 District 22-5A Offensive MVP from Port Arthur Jefferson, was considered one of the top high school football wide receivers in Texas from 1980-81 before enjoying a stellar collegiate career at Texas A&M. Sanders was a two-year starting quarterback at Flower Mound Marcus and the 1995 Texas Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year before playing at SMU and Tennessee-Chattanooga. Eschenfelder and Sanders will call tomorrow’s opening game with sideline reporter Bart Enis, a member of Houston Stratford’s 1978 state championship team.

who is the running back for stratfort?

Don't know who the running back is, but the Quarterback is Oliver Luck's Son and he is the one getting all the hype out of Stratford. Sam McGuffie is the running back out of Cypress Fairbanks. He is AWESOME!!!!! He's going to Michigan. Luck is going to Stanford.
