SCHOOLS: Please share with your various constituencies via email, social media or other means. This release will be posted on our site as well shortly. The link to the live stream is http://crescentcitysports.com/live-game-streams/.

Crescent City Sports’ extensive live streaming coverage of high school sports for the 2020-21 school year opens Friday night as defending Division I state champion Archbishop Rummel travels to Hammond for a non-district matchup.

CCS’ coverage of Friday’s game between the Raiders and Tornadoes will begin just before the 7 p.m. kickoff from Southeastern Louisiana University’s Strawberry Stadium. Lenny Vangilder and Wayde Keiser will describe the action.

Rummel completed a undefeated 2019 season with a 14-10 victory over Catholic High for the Division I title, the third state championship in school history. Quarterback Kyle Wickersham, running back Logan Diggs and linebacker Kolbe Fields are among the key returnees for second-year head coach Nick Monica’s squad.

Hammond will play its first game under new coach Darrion Buckels after Steve Jones announced his retirement this summer. The Tornadoes were 3-7 a year ago after reaching the 5A playoffs the previous year.

With many schools seeking larger venues to host games because of coronavirus restrictions, Southeastern will be a popular site for high school football this season. Strawberry Stadium is expected to host more than a dozen games.

The Crescent City Sports team is in its 10th season of producing live broadcasts for television and internet, having produced more than 300 live streams since 2012, and is continuing its extensive commitment to prep sports coverage on its website for 2020-21. Additionally, in cooperation with Cox Sports Television, CCS will also produce additional events that will both be televised on CST and streamed on the site.
