NFLHS.com launches NFL Global Junior Championship
section; Games to be streamed live over the Internet
NFLHS.com has launched
an NFL Global Junior Championship VIII section dedicated to
the all-star tournament to be played in Houston during the
week of Super Bowl XXXVIII.
A link from the Internet’s home of high
school football takes web surfers to the latest news from
the international event and includes details on how to buy
tickets, the tournament schedule and directions to Tully Stadium,
where games will be played on January 28 and 31.
On game day the site will feature live audio
coverage of all First Round Games and Medal Games courtesy
of the Texas Sports Radio Network. There will also be game
recaps posted on NFLHS.com at the conclusion of each game.
“We are delighted to again work with the
NFL Global Junior Championship and take our coverage to another
level this year,” said MIKKO SIMON
of NFLHS.com. “This is an exciting tournament that annually
showcases high school players not only from the United States,
but from around the world.”
The popular website currently features the rosters
of competing teams USA, Canada, Japan, Russia and Mexico and
news of the tournament’s progress since it was first
played at Super Bowl XXXI in New Orleans in 1997. Fans can
keep up to date with the teams as they attend a welcome banquet,
hit the practice field, hold a press conference at the Super
Bowl XXXVIII Media Center and enjoy their time in the city
of Houston. The direct link is: www.nflhs.com/GJC/
“Adding live audio coverage to our section
on NFLHS.com is a major boost,” said NFL Global Junior
Championship organizer PATRICK STEENBERGE.
“Now the families of players visiting from other countries
can track their sons’ progress and experience the thrill
of game day as can fans of Texas high school football.”
The NFL Global Junior Championship VIII action
begins at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 28 at Tully Stadium
in Houston. Games are played over two seven-minute halves
and the top two teams from the round robin shootout will meet
in the Championship Game at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, January
31. Tickets are available priced $6 per day from Katy, Stratford,
Memorial, Cy-Fair and Cypress Creek high schools.
Ends.
