FLN’s Bracket Predictions! And Our Varsity Sports Network Update!
As we come up on the start of the regular season Monday, here’s a few updates on our coverage:
Morning Coffee will return on our YouTube channel! Starting Tuesday morning (we’ll start with 8:30am and see what works best) we will recap the previous day’s scores and other news.
Sunday will be the Preseason Polls for this season. Going forward we’ll play with some different ways of presenting them and maybe do some Sunday night YouTube live events to roll those out!
Tuesday at 6:00pm will be our introductory show on VSN, and it will be a talk about the sport in the state and a review of the previous season. Going forward we’ll be doing a weekly recap show. If you want to submit a highlight clip for consideration, email it to Bobby@VarsitySportsNetwork.Org.
The weekly recap will feature interviews and a weekly update of ‘Who’s In / Who’s Out according to the FHSAA rankings for that week.
