Game of the Week LIVE Resumes Friday 7pm on Channel 17   

 

Be sure to tune in Friday at 7pm on Channel 17 for the restart of Access Sacramento's Game of the Week broadcasts. Eleven weeks of regular season action are planned. 

Wiil James, Jim Dimino and Rick Stewart call the action with a clash of perennial section title contenders as the Rocklin Thunder (7-4 in 2013) square off with the Pleasant Grove Eagles (10-3 in 2013); an intriguing match-up that pits an experienced coaching staff versus a rookie coaching staff. 

The visiting Thunder are guided by veteran Head Coach, Greg Benzel, while the Eagles are now under the leadership of Jason Rossow in his first year as a varsity head coach following Joe Cattolico's departure from the helm.

 

A preview of each week's contest prepared by Will James will be available at AccessLocal.TV.  Video highlights of each contest will also be provided after the games all season long. 

Access Sacramento helped sponsor Sunday morning's High School Coaches Breakfast hosted by the National Football Federation / Sacramento Valley Chapter.

Nearly 30 schools from across the region sent representatives in the 12th annual gathering to kick off the football season. Most teams held scrimmages Saturday and play in their first games of the year this Friday.
