Fans of NBC's Sunday night football -- which, to me, is by far the best football production on TV today -- are familiar seeing a few highlights from a local high school game each week.

The shots, typically shown coming out of a commercial, are filmed earlier in the week around the host city, and usually commentators Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will give the teams some love.

With the Ravens hosting the Jets this Sunday night, St. Mary's and Boys' Latin are the two lucky squads that will have a very small portion of their game from Friday shown to the nation.

From Z on TV:

[NBC's Fred] Gaudelli, who has produced four Super Bowls, says camera crews are often sent out to film a city during the week before the Sunday game, and that was the case this week with Baltimore. Friday afternoon, NBC Sports was in North Baltimore filming a high school football game between St. Mary's and Boys' Latin School. Friday night, a crew was scheduled to go up in an airplane for aerial shots of downtown buildings lit in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Check out Z's blog for a much wider look at how Baltimore will be portrayed.

And, in case you were wondering, St. Mary’s won the game 12-6.
