Talking Preps Picks

Here are Friday’s high school picks done by the hosts of The Observer’s “Talking Preps” streaming show

Panthers kicked off “Big Friday” in Harrisburg

The Carolina Panthers launched their annual “Big Friday” promotion Friday -- with a twist.

In the past, the NFL team has hosted high school football games in uptown Charlotte at Memorial Stadium. This year, the Panthers will go to different high school campuses throughout the season, in North and South Carolina.

The Panthers will provide pre- and post-game coverage on the team website along with honorary coin-toss captains from the team’s active roster and past players. The team will also provide grant funding to support high school programs.

““The Carolina Panthers are thrilled to support high school football through the team’s Big Friday series,” said Panthers director of community relations Riley Fields. “The opportunity to engage with the high school football community in this new on-campus Big Friday format is exciting, as is the ability to immerse in the unique energy that Friday nights on campus deliver. We look forward to amplifying and celebrating the important role high school football plays in communities across our region.”

The first game of the Big Friday series was Friday’s Chambers at Hickory Ridge game, a battle between rivals ranked in The Observer’s Sweet 16 poll.
