Local High School Teams to Play on TV

While the area has been surviving the destruction from Hurricane Sandy and digging out from Nor'easter Athena, not a lot of focus has been put on the area's schools and sports. 

But two of the area's best teams are about to face off Friday Night on cable television for the tri-state area to see, as the Roxbury High School Gaels and Mt. Olive High School Marauders square off under the lights.

The game will be televised on Friday Night Football Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. on MSG Varsity, Cablevision's 24/7 HD network, dedicated to all things high school.

Roxbury is currently 6-1 and Mt. Olive is 5-2, with both making a push for the playoffs. Viewers can catch the game on MSG Varsity Optimum TV Channel 14 or live online at msgvarsity.com/livecast.

“Both of these New Jersey squads have winning records, creating momentum moving into playoffs for the teams,” said Michael Lardner, Executive Producer and Senior Vice President, MSG Varsity, “This game is sure to be a close one, and MSG Varsity is excited to bring viewers all the action live.”
