FOX 7 features football on Fridays
Today, Austin’s FOX 7 (KTBC) kicks off HomeTeam Fridays. Each week throughout the 2009 high school football season, the FOX 7 News team will visit different towns and local neighborhoods around Central Texas.
Throughout the day, the station’s newscasts will feature the local school and its events, history, places and faces. Evening newscasts will include in-depth coverage of the featured school’s team as well as a look at their mascot, bands and fans. On location each week will be FOX 7 Chief Meteorologist Scott Fisher or Mike Warren, anchor of FOX 7 NEWS EDGE at 5:00 and 9:00 p.m.
This year, viewers can get in on the game: FOX 7 will let them vote for their school to be part of HomeTeam Friday in an online poll at MyFoxAustin.com. The poll is divided by district and the winners will be visited on 9/18 (5A), 10/9 (4A) and 10/30 (3A). At the site, viewers can also upload photos showing their team spirit.
This week, the focus is on Liberty Hill, where the Panthers take on the Giddings Buffaloes tonight. Here’s the schedule for September and early October:
8/28 Giddings @ Liberty Hill
9/4 San Marcos @ Bastrop
9/11 Austin @ Westwood
9/18 FIRST POLL WINNER - 5A
9/25 Lexington@ Lago Vista
10/2 McNeil @ Cedar Park
