Lee County schools debut “Game of the week”
While it may not be Monday Night Football, “Game of the Week” allows the Lee County School District to bring attention to local high school athletes more than just a quick highlight here or there.
“Game of the Week” was developed to showcase and promote the spirit of sportsmanship and fair play in athletic contests and to provide Lee County students with real life communications and television broadcast experience. It also provides “hands on” experiences for TV99’s student-interns.
The staff will cover the game in its entirety on Friday night, then have the package ready to air on TV99 the following Monday at 7 p.m. (on Comcast Channel 99.)
Three games have aired so far this season, including Cape Coral at Riverdale from Aug. 28; Cypress Lake at Fort Myers from Sept. 4; and Dunbar at Lehigh from Sept. 11. The remaining schedule for The Game of the Week is as follows:
