that's not how it works, NFHS just supplies the camera and network, Each School is supposed to set up for each event.
99% of the schools on NFHS do a great job, The Local Schools Do NOT!!
Most schools have announcers and update the score all the time on the screen.

NFHS streaming is just a money grab. People are paying them for a service they don't monitor.

We are lucky to already have a great video coverage crew locally for stadium games. Aside from covering the state finals, NFHS is not worth the money.

Do you realize how silly that sounds? I'm paying NFHS to watch a game not coerce FH into carrying the NFHS network's camera to a game. They should be the ones responsible for doing so.

do the cheerleaders in this area get in line to shake hands with the football team after the game? Outside of this area, schools don’t do it.
It’s weird. And unnecessary.

I've often wondered this myself.

The FH game isn't even on tonight. Half the time they start 20 minutes late or end up with "technical difficulties" and the game can't be shown with nothing more than a pathetic apology. Aside from the state championship game, the presentation is usually slow and terrible. The camera's "autopilot" scans too slow and half the time doesn't even cover plays in the endzone.

So, it might be the "best deal going right now", but that's still sad.

The Washington County Schools are not on NFHS, they are on HUDL and you have to pay for them.
This Martinsburg game is good at the half Dawgs lead Spring Mills 7-6, Spring Mills has moved the ball more than Martinsburg.
The Spring Mills D Cord. is former Martinsburg Coach, he is shutting the Dawgs down, his girlfriend ran off with Dave Walker a few years ago and now With Walker back at Martinsburg, I want to see the handshakes after this one. I could see Spring Mills storming the field if they can pull it off. No Eastern Panhandle Team has beaten Martinsburg in football since 2007

13-10 allegany at half. Hansel had some very questionable time management to end the half. Plays prevent defense on a QB who can’t throw it more than 20 yards and gives up an easy 10 yard out completion to get northern to the alco 35 and then northern gets sacked with no time outs and the clock is running out and Hansel calls a timeout with 3 seconds allowing the clock to stop and northern to kick a 47 yard bomb. Odd time management

I didn't know anything about the team they are playing this weekend. But a stumble by them would really make things crazy,

After Fort Hill, it looks like spots 2 thru 5 are all up for grabs. Clear Spring, MR, Northern and Alco all have a shot to claim any of those spots, and the really good thing is is that it won't be settled until next week's games are finished. They are all that close. I really think that it's going to come down to bonus points. After looking at it closely, it just gave me a headache.

Clear Spring has a pretty easy final 2 games though. I think they lock up the 2 seed in the west.

Seems to me, from my experience, the big games are the ones that tend to have the most issues. Oakdale a few years back, for example. I was hyped to watch that and so disappointed they had technical difficulties and had to rely on TBO. Oy!

I've watched games on NFHS that have been done well, and then I've watched some poor-quality games as well. For some reason, the cameras aren't starting before kickoff, and you wind up missing it and even some of the first few plays. I've watched other games where the camera was set too far from the field, you couldn't read the numbers on the uniforms. I'm sure that I could think of a few more issues but the bottom line is that it's still the best deal going right now if you want to see other games that you normally couldn't get to but like everyone else, I'd really like to see some things improve.

NFHS sucks!!!!

Alleganys last home game was week 3 against Ridge, You will see a different Allegany Team tonight.

Martinsburg should be a good game tonight

Bump 10/25 - 10/26
will update more when I find out what games are on some of these other sites

I am usually not one to criticize officials, but they were blatantly bad last night. Sometimes I guess I take for granted the quality of officials we have up here. We have some good ones.

I did not foresee Williamsport smoking Mtn Ridge 47-27. Mtn Ridge beat Catoctin 29-12 and Catoctin smoked Williamsport 47-14. This was a big win for Williamsport despite Mtn Ridge seemingly returning to their normalcy after having a good 3-year run.

This loss by Ridge opens the door for Allegany to jump into the 3 seed potentially in the west. If that happens they will beat Clear Spring and then we might just see a FH/Alco state championship!

It would come down to next week. Alco vs. FH and MR vs. Keyser

So with the Mt Ridge loss to Williamsport, looks like Alco/Northern are fighting for the 3 spot in 1A West.

Don't overlook Northern. They are pretty solid, and you know that they are thinking the same thing and will be ready to play Friday night.

Let's face it, some people are never happy with anything. If FH loses to Dunbar it's Dunbar recruits and it's not fair. If you move FH out of a class with Dunbar then the entire classification is watered down. When Dunbar beats FH nobody says it's horrible because the class is watered down. What is fair? Who decides what is right or wrong? FH brings in these supposed crowd drawing teams because it's a challenge and it's great for fans and then nobody shows up and there is an entire thread about why the population is at fault. Honestly if you can't laugh at this stuff you don't have a sense of humor. I keep saying if 1A is so bad why isn't Alco or MR winning any titles?

I get so tired of hearing about Dunbar. The advantage that Dunbar has is that anyone who lives in the city of Baltimore can go to any school of their choice. It is a fact that the better kids go to Dunbar to play football. It’s not a secret. It’s also not a secret that the Dunbar coaches encourage them to come.

I still stand by what I’ve been saying. The best Fort Hill teams beat the very best Dunbar teams. I’m talking about the years that Ty Johnson Barnes and Graves played for Fort Hill and last year in particular.
