Another Huskies Game To Be Televised On ESPN
ESPN has added another Hewitt-Trussville game to its scheduled broadcasts of high school football.
TRUSSVILLE, AL - The Hewitt-Trussville football team will receive a heavy dose of national exposure this season. As previously announced, the Huskies will open their season against Cedar Grove (Ga.) on ESPN, and this week the sports media giant announced plans to broadcast Hewitt-Trussville's Week 9 game against Thompson as well.
The match-up is intriguing statewide for sure, but has national implications as well, in that the game will pit two of the top quarterback prospects in the nation in Hewitt-Trussville's Paul Tyson and Thompson's Taulia Tagaviolia. Both QBs are committed to the University of Alabama.
