This week's bizarre high school football score

In Kansas, you have to watch the national federation's feed. The eight-man games have been carried on public TV in Western Kansas but I don't know if that's still the case.

 

Mississippi's public school championship games are aired on TV, but it's a cable alternate channel (the MeTV feed) for one of the Jackson stations. They use the NFHS streaming feed, which you can also see.

The private school association does streaming only, through an in-house production company. They do a very good and professional broadcast, and quickly realized one side benefit to it — instant replay.
For the championship games, since they have so many camera angles, they've incorporated a replay challenge system into the game. It's the same as the NFL's, where coaches can challenge twice a game and lose a timeout if they lose the challenge. It's been in place for about five years now and seems to work well.

 

Ohio's also on Spectrum.

 

How?

California High School Wins State Title Without a Pass Completion - Sports Illustrated

For the entire SEASON.

 

AETN in Arkansas (they're called something else now) carried the 2017 state championship games OTA.

I watched live on the telly as Bentonville's QB spiked the ball a half-second too late and NLR held on for Central Arkansas' first state championship in the highest classification since 2004.

I think Bryant might've won one for Central since, but I've paid no attention as I have relocated to greener pastures.

 

Alabama Public Broadcasting now has the rights here, but there is a prohibition against internet streaming which somehow extends to YouTube TV on a Roku. That is so very descriptive of how behind the times the AHSAA can be.

 

CIF has a deal with Spectrum and put the upper tier games (at Saddleback College) on cable throughout Southern California. In the past they've arranged to have games on the NBC Sports network (one carries Giants and Dubs, the other A's, Kings and Sharks) in the. North, but this year, nothing on cable up here.

 

As an example of how shitty modern day SI is - it's pretty clear that article was just compiled from them looking at box scores, and not making a phone call or two. It's also aggregated from the USA Today original, which also has no quotes and seems like it was produced from looking at Rivals or MaxPreps. It's not even good aggregation, because one more ounce of work would have gotten them to this L.A. Times article, which does have quotes and gets into why the team has been so good despite not completing a pass this year.

 

It is.

They don’t play title games at a neutral site?
