Bookmark and Share

Two of our area's schools, Apex and Cary High, will have live play-by-play webcasts available for online streaming during their respective football games tonight.

At Cary, Sports Information Director David Maney II will be voicing play-by-play of tonight's Fuquay-Varina at Cary football game at caryhighimps.ihigh.com. The site, which is maintained and updated by Maney, is the third-most visited team page on the ihigh network.

Online streaming will also be available for Apex High as they travel to Lee County, thanks to the upstart North Carolina Sports Network. The for-profit online service is headed by Apex's own Jacques Gilbert and Wake County native Ben McKeown.

The broadcast of Apex's games will be available at NCSportsLive.com and 933MVP.com. The NCSN will also be producing a weekly talk show, The 60 Minute Timeout, which will also be devoted to discussing local high school sports.

In addition to live coverage, the broadcasts for both Cary and Apex will be archived and accessible in streaming format after the conclusion of the games on their respective sites.

Both sites plan on covering the remainder of football season in addition to this year's basketball and baseball seasons. The NCSN will be doing the same for Apex High, as well as Wakefield High and Cary Academy, while Cary's ihigh already plans on doing the same webcasts for volleyball games next week and showing video of those matches on tape delay.
