The Bangor Daily News and SportsNet Maine are pleased to be teaming up again this fall to broadcast live-streamed Maine high school football games on the BDN website.

The BDN/SportsNet Maine Game of the Week will be available on your phone, tablet or desktop computer at bangordailynews.com/gameoftheweek.

On Friday night, we will kick off a series of eight weekly game broadcasts featuring many of the top high school teams from around eastern Maine. Our first live-streamed contest will feature the Foxcroft Academy Ponies against their longtime Piscataquis County rivals, the Dexter Tigers, from Oakes Field in Dover-Foxcroft.

The action begins at 7 p.m. with Jim Churchill of SportsNet Maine handling the play-by-play and veteran Bangor Daily News sportswriter Ernie Clark providing the color commentary.
