My son is a Sophomore (the only Sophomore on the varsity team) at Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, Illinois. It was announced at Friday night's intra-squad scrimmage that their game with Mt. Carmel Catholic High School in Chicago, Illinois, has been moved to Thursday night, September 7, 2006, for a live broadcast on ESPN U.

 

Providence has won 9 state titles since 1987 and Mt. Carmel probably has the best team in the whole state this season. I am not sure how good PCHS is going to be, yet, but we will know more after Friday's season opening game with the defending 8A champion, Lincoln Way East.

 

I know that ESPN U is on channel 609 on DirecTv but I am not sure how many cable systems carry it. Check it out if you get a chance.

Great opportunity for a young kid to be seen. Hope your son has success. Good luck.

For those who haven't been around for a while or don't know me, I am an alum of Lincoln County High School in Kentucky. I used to broadcast Lincoln County games on the radio (1983-1989 and 1994-2001) and used to originate an internet audio version of a Scoreboard show in conjunciton with BGP.

 

Even though I live and work in Chicago, I still have strong ties and interest in Kentucky football.

Your House was the first place I can remember watching a Big Screen TV!!!!

I plan to watch this game if I can remember when it comes on. Maybe you could restart the thread that week? Does your son start and do you think he'll play?

Your memory is correct. I don't remember what movies though.

Good Luck to your son. I may see if the Missile can get ESPN U so we can watch.

He is splitting time at fullback but is not listed as the starter. The Senior he is splitting time with has been working some at D-line and may go over there fulltime. He will get playing time or they wouldn't have brought him up to the varsity. That is, if the staff didn't think he was going to contribute, they would have left him with the Sophomore team for development purposes.

 

He was the only freshman on the sophomore team last year where he started at fullback in front of two sophs and he dressed one game with the varsity in the playoffs.

 

The televised game will be the 3rd of the season and I will know more about his playing time by then. I will bring this thread back to the top that week and give an update.

Appreciate it and good luck!

Also tell us his #. :thumb:

I get DirectTV, and look forward to tuning in or recording it. Way to go youngster! If he's just a sophomore, stay away from Ashland. He'll break down on the interstate and the next thing you know he'll have one of those purple jerseys on! Seriously, good luck young'un and proud papa!

Congrats Mr. Network. Im sure you are very proud, and rightfully so.

Yeah, congrats from me also. You must be so proud and rightfully so of your son. Tell your son he'll have a host of Kentuckians cheering for him and his team. Good luck.
