Comments
Hey Milton,
It is about time these games will be aired on television. I was fortunate to play in the City Poly games at Memorial Stadium and those games were on cable and public television. It is now 2007 and with the technology available these days and the number of local high schools and colleges with programs that cater to digital media. This should be a no brainer. Finally someone, Comcast, has seen the value in our young athletes and the local marketing opportunties.
Just My Thoughts,
DRJ
