The Williamson County Schools Game Day program, which is similar to the ESPN program that previews college games, is about to get flashier.
A $6,000 donation from Walker Chevrolet will be used to improve the staging of the show, according to schools spokeswoman Carol Birdsong. The remainder of the money will go to the media programs in each school, she said.
“Supporting our local kids is important to me, and the donation we made to the media program also supports local athletics, which I love to do,” said Brock Daly, general manager of Walker Chevrolet. Athletics plays a big part in the development of our kids.”
High school football begins this week.
WCS Game Day will be taped before the Fairview vs. Page “Battle of 840” this week, and will be uploaded to YouTube following post production.
Game Day moves to Brentwood for the “Battle of the Woods” Brentwood-Ravenwood contest on Aug. 26. On Sept. 2, Nolensville High School will make its Game Day debut when they take on South Gibson County. and finally, Game Day will be taped before the Independence-Summit game on Sept. 16.
