High School Students Replicate 'GameDay'

One of the latest examples of the pervasiveness and power of "College GameDay" was reported Friday by the Valley News Dispatch in western Pennsylvania.

Reporter Bill Beckner Jr. chronicled a day-long event in Leechburg, Pa., where students planned to launch their own High School Game Day. It's not a broadcast event, but it is something organizers hope can build energy just like when the ESPN types hit a college campus.

With no classes in the school district because of an in-service day for teachers, students plan a full day of activity leading up to the game between Northgate and Leechburg. Best of all, the student hosts are competing (they plan to shoot rock-paper-scissors) for the right to portray Lee Corso.
