In preparation for the start of high school football, FOX Sports West teamed-up with long-time partner, CIF Southern Section (the largest of 10 sections that make up the California Interscholastic Federation) last week to host the inaugural CIF-SS High School Football Media Day on the FOX Lot. Players and coaches from 16 schools - that will appear this season on the FOX Sports West TV and/or Prep Zone schedule - were invited to represent the CIF-SS and its 579 member high schools.
The Breakfast Event Consisted of the Following:
- Guest Speaker Q&A with former Tustin HS, UCLA & NFL RB, DeShaun Foster
- Panel Q&A sessions with event host and HS TV Analyst, John Jackson
- Schools appeared on stage in pairs of two with one coach and one player representative each
- Student-athletes and coaches participated in a promo green screen and photo shoot
- Prep Zone goody bags for all in attendance
- FOX Sports West Girls were in attendance to greet and take photos with guests
In total, the event welcomed over 100 attendees including, media outlets and high school bloggers, school principals, athletic directors, journalism students, FOX Sports West advertising clients, FOX Sports Next (Scout.com) representatives, foxsportswest.com writers and more.
