Centennial scores or Dowling wins. Smith
It's picked and Dowling is coming back the other way.
Treyton Smith is chasing Kenny James.
Touchdown Dowling. Game over. Maroons win.
You just can't get better than that.
If you're a Dowling Maroon player,
you dream about having a walk off
interception, touchdown victory to seal it.
Oh gosh, I was so engrossed in that I didn't
realize it was my turn to read.
Sorry, that was just a slice of the excitement from
last year's Football Friday prime time.
Seriously, I was like wow,
great highlights for the past few football seasons.
We have aired local football games right here on WHO
13?
So our Keith Murphy and Justin Surrency.
You heard them calling the games and they'll be doing
it again this season.
They join us now to reveal this sheared featured this
year's featured games.
I should say we need a drum roll.
Yeah,
so those reviews over there,
they're excited we're here. We're excited to return for another
season.
It's become a team effort with Justin,
Andy, Ed, Jerry and the entire crew.
Plus this season more football than ever.
Justin. Yeah, it's so much fun to reveal it.
2 stadiums and three schools will be making their football
Friday primetime debut.
We can't wait for all the big moments that'll come
along with it.
All right, let's get it started.
Our football Friday primetime season on the
main WHO 13, won't start until Week 3,
the first two Fridays of the high school season.
NBC is carrying the Paralympics from Paris.
Now that's an event we can't
and should not preempt, but it does provide an opportunity.
So week one, Thursday, August 29th,
we'll have a streaming exclusive.
Perry versus Des Moines. Hoover at Mediacom Stadium in Des
Moines.
Big one for sure. Football.
Friday primetime becomes football Thursday primetime as we break in
that new Mediacom stadium with Perry taking on the Hoover
Huskies.
August 29th. The game of resilience and overcoming adversity as
both Hoover and Perry nearly eliminated their football programs due
to low numbers they played last year.
An extremely close game with Perry knocking off Hoover and
Hoover will look for revenge at home in Des Moines
again. This game will be seen live on The Who
Weather Channel Digital
13.4. It'll also be streamed at
who13.com and on
MC22. So then a couple of weeks off week three
of the high school football season.
Let's reveal the schedule here as we get into the
Friday primetime games
beginning September 13th. After RV,
TV and the Cyhawk week,
it's Dowling at Ankeny Justin.
It's a big one. Obviously everyone wants to take their
shot at Dowling.
But one of the most surprising teams last year I
feel,
was Ankeny with the new head coach didn't know what
to expect.
But both of these teams,
I mean Rashad Davis. Enough said right?
64% of Dowling S touchdowns with 27 last year.
He returns. Ankeny has a slew of players.
Top 2 running backs combined for 20 touchdowns.
This is going to be a must see game.
The winner there is a clear favorite to pay.
We probably go far in the playoffs.
You said. Enough said. But you can't.
You kept talking.
September 20th, the three time defending state champs from Southeast
Polk at Centennial.
Yeah, big one here as well.
Fred Jackson's son plays for the Jaguars.
That's crazy. Southeast Polk, three time state champion.
Someone's got to knock them off,
right? They have a big target on their back and
some some big names on that Centennial offense.
We saw what they could do.
They lost last second to Dowling last year.
But a fun team. If you love The Color Purple,
maybe you're a big Prince fan.
September 27th, you got Johnston at Waukee.
Yeah, that's a purple out for sure.
I love that color. Love both of these communities.
Going back to Waukee. Johnston will not their quarterback.
Big year last year he returns and with Waukee with
their quarterback it was a sophomore last year.
So you to think they're more mature.
He'll be able to do some things the coaches.
Son Baker is at quarterback and that should be a
big time matchup as well for the metro area.
October 4th West Des Moines Valley The Tigers should be
stacked this season.
Goodness at Waukee Northwest. That seems like it's harder to
find a player on Valley that doesn't have a Division
One offer right now.
Xavion Robinson committed to Iowa State.
Jaden Mcgregory has moved to the number one recruit in
the state and top ten nationally
and this is a team that if they don't
get injured it's it's much see,
you got to go see them Friday night and Waukee
Northwest is a defensive minded team so we'll see.
Something's got to got to give their NBC allows us
five Fridays and the final Friday in prime time October
11th.
Dowling Catholic at Urbandale. This is
Urbandale's first time.
Yeah, we're excited about this one and not that Dolly
needs any extra energy,
but here's a little bit of a shocker.
I feel like for people on the outside that thinks
Urbandale has no shot,
I think that more college coaches are going to be
at this game.
For people on Urbandale's defense,
Alexis Ramazani has a handful of Division One scholarships.
He's most electrifying defensive end maybe in the state.
And so they'll have their hands full with him running
around.
Well, clearly Justin has done more research than I have
at this point.
But I I remind you it is just may looking
forward to it,
partner. I think we all are 11 teams six games.
That's your football Friday, prime time with a Thursday thrown
in just to make sure you're paying attention.
Janae and Aaron. Enough said,
guys, right, enough said. And you have plenty of time
to study.
Keith, enough said. All right.
Thanks.
