CSS will televise the Progressive Football Challenge doubleheader live from Tom Robinson Memorial Stadium in Suwanee, GA, Friday, August 29th, to kickoff its 2008 Comcast High School Football Game of the Week broadcast schedule. This marks the 11th season that Comcast has televised live high school football in Atlanta.
CSS will air both games live across the southeast, starting with the Central Gwinnett Black Knights vs. Mainland (Daytona Beach, FL) Bucs at 6:00 p.m. ET, followed by the host North Gwinnett Bulldogs vs. #1 ranked Byrnes (Duncan, SC) Rebels at 9:00 p.m.
Central Gwinnett will be led by first-year head coach Ed Stokes, who was an assistant to the late Dennis Roland on last year’s team that finished 4-6. Roland also coached at North Gwinnett during his career. For Mainland Head Coach John Maronto, this will be his first game since undergoing triple-bypass heart surgery during the off-season. The Bucs were 8-4 in 2007 and reached the Florida state playoffs for a 12th time in 12 years under Moronto, who guided Mainland to a state championship in 2003.
In the nightcap, North Gwinnett will begin the 2008 season looking to build off the greatest season in Bulldogs history. North Gwinnett finished 13-2 in 2007 and reached Georgia’s AAAAA state championship game. In two seasons under Head Coach Bob Sphire, the Bulldogs have gone 24-4 and are led by college prospect Mikey Tamburo at quarterback. Byrnes High School is ranked number one in the nation by USA Today after finishing 15-0 in 2007, winning South Carolina’s AAAA state championship, the fifth time in six years the Rebels have won the crown. Brynes star-studded team boasts a junior class that is considered to sport nine major college prospects including running back Marcus Lattimore, who many feel could be the best junior ball carrier in the nation.
