High School Football: ESPN announces doubleheader for Aug. 26

ESPN will be broadcasting a couple of major high school football games at the outset of the 2023 season.

ESPN will broadcast several prominent high school football games at the outset of the 2023 season.

Sportscenter NEXT shared the announcement today on their Twitter page – the two games will feature St. Frances (Md.) vs. Chaminade-Madonna (Fla.), followed by St. John Bosco (Calif.) vs. St. Thomas Aquinas (Fla.).

All the teams have been perennial USA TODAY Sport Super 25 teams.

St. Frances may be the best high school team on the east coast. Last season they posted a record of 9-1 and finished at No. 10 in our final Super 25 of 2022. Meanwhile, Chaminade-Madonna went 13-1 and finished one spot higher.

St. John Bosco spent most of the season in second place in national rankings, but a win over Mater Dei (Calif.) in November helped them climb the top of the pile. They ended the 2022-23 season with a 13-1 record and ranked first on the final Super 25 list. Meanwhile, St. Thomas Aquinas went undefeated at 14-0 and finished in the No. 6 spot.

St. Frances (Md.) corner Ify Obidegwu shared his top seven schools on Twitter yesterday.

With only a few exceptions, most of the best players in the recruiting class of 2023 have already signed their National Letters of Intent. Now the top prospects in the class of 2024 are busy deciding where they want to play their college football. For example, one of the top cornerbacks in the class has narrowed his list of schools to seven.

St. Frances (Md.) corner Ify Obidegwu shared his top seven schools on Twitter yesterday: Alabama, Maryland, Oregon, Michigan, USC, Tennessee and Ohio State.

Obidegwu (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) is ranked No. 15 among cornerbacks in his class and No. 158 in the nation.

Altogether, Obidegwu has interest from 30 different programs. According to On3’s prediction model, Maryland (30.2%) leads the other schools as the landing spot.

However, as recently as last month, Obidegwu said that Tennessee is “at the top” of his list after a visit to Knoxville. He also has plans to visit USC.
