We are right in the middle of an exciting run of District XI high school football action on RCN-TV.
First of all, the EPC announced their All-Star class, so let’s take a moment to spotlight some of the outstanding high school players during the regular season.
Last weekend, the district’s 4A and 5A champions were crowned and will move on to the PIAA state playoffs, commencing on Friday night.
This weekend will also be the 6A and 3A title games. Of course, this time of year is even more exciting as it’s “do or die” time, with the loser of these playoff games seeing their season come to an end. For that reason alone, there’s a little more adrenaline running through the hearts and minds of the players, coaches and people associated with the football teams involved at this time of year.
Here is a look at RCN’s recent coverage of the final regular season games, along with the opening rounds of the district playoff season.
Don’t forget, you can see more highlights, along with insights, predictions and previews of our local teams in the state playoffs by watching “RCN SportsTalk presented by The Morning Call” live on Thursdays at 7pm and also by catching our podcasts at rcn.com/atvn/sports-talk.
We hope to have a special guest on this Thursday’s show in which we’ll discuss the Lafayette/Lehigh game—both past and present, along with high school football talk and some commentaries on how this time of year used to mean some great Thanksgiving Day rivalry games. Of course, we’ll also talk about a few of those traditional holiday game classics, like Easton/Phillipsburg, Catasauqua/Northampton and others that still exist.
Also, make sure you check out RCN’s broadcast schedule each week as we follow our local teams through the state playoffs. Best of luck to all the teams still playing!
