WKTV Staff
The pending return of high school football and just completed local amateur boxing are both available as part of the August WKTV sports coverage offerings.
The high school football season is only a couple weeks away and WKTV’s coverage crew has its initial schedule, starting with opening night action at Godwin Heights High School as new head coach Brandon Kimble leads the Wolverines onto the field for the first time. (Don’t forget your sunglasses as the sun sets!)
Coach Kimble, in a WKTV in-studio interview, talks about his past and his new team’s future
WKTV will then be cover all the local football teams in the first six weeks, including Tri-Unity Christian’s 8-man football team, before we start covering the best game available in October.
The August football schedule includes: Thursday, Aug. 23: Hamilton at Godwin Heights; and Thursday, Aug. 30: Ashley at Tri-Unity Christian (8-man football at 5651 Gezon Court Wyoming.)
Until then, however, the recent Saturday Superstar Boxing will air on WKTV 25 on Saturday, Aug. 18, at 5 p.m. with a repeat on Sunday, Aug. 19, at noon.
These and other sports events are cable broadcast either live, immediately after the event and/or in rebroadcast, on Comcast WKTV Channel 25 and on AT&T U-Verse Community 99.
WKTV’s featured football games on the night of the game (Thursday or Friday) at 11 p.m. and Saturday starting at 11 a.m. See WKTVjournal.org/sports weekly for complete feature broadcast schedules.
WKTV’s coverage of high school sports and select community events are also available on-demand within a week of the event at wktvondemand.com.
