Chapel Hill High School Football Field. A week from tonight, the lights will come on and the football season will kick off.
CHAPEL HILL – High school football kicks off one week from today, and WCHL and Chapelboro.com are bringing you two games each week this year.
For the first time, you’ll be able to choose which local team to listen to on Friday nights.
The season kicks off with the Carrboro Jaguars who made it all the way to the 2A State Championship game last year traveling to Hillsborough to battle the Cedar Ridge Red Wolves who make the jump to 3A football this year. You can hear the call from Paul Connell and Anthony Wellman on WCHL and Chapelboro.com.
And, exclusively on Chapelboro.com, the 3A Chapel Hill Tigers host the 4A Riverside Pirates. The Tigers are coming off their 9-4 finish last season in which they were knocked out of the state playoffs in the second round. Walter Storholt and Jeff Hamlin join the broadcast team to bring you that game from Chapel Hill.
All the action begins next Friday at 6:30 p.m. with the return of The Grid hosted by Ran Northam in which you can hear comments from all of the area’s coaches. Then at 7:00 p.m., you choose which game you want to listen to: Carrboro at Cedar Ridge or Riverside at Chapel Hill.

* denotes a floating schedule. In the last four weeks of the regular season, the games will be chosen the Monday before the day of the game.
Great to see Walter Storholt and Jeff Hamlin back on the WCHL air. The broadcast schedule looks impressive. I doubt any other radio station in the state will present two games of the week. Great job to figure all this out and put it together, Ran!
