See what matchups will be on WACH Fox’s high school football broadcast schedule

Coming off its winningest season in school history, Gilbert football team will make two appearances on WACH Fox’s Sonic Friday Night Rivals.

The Indians’ season opener against Gray Collegiate on Aug. 17 and non-region road game at Airport on Sept. 7 will be part of the station’s 11-game regular-season schedule. Gilbert is coming off a 12-1 season and advanced to the third round of the Class 3A playoffs.

Some of the other matchups on the schedule include rivals Camden and Lugoff-Elgin meeting on Aug. 24. Lexington’s Perry Woolbright and Irmo’s Reggie Kennedy will face their former schools. Lexington travels to Batesburg-Leesville on Sept. 14.

This is the fourth year WACH Fox will be televising high school football. Games will be shown on WACH 57.2/Spectrum Cable 1250 and streamed on www.wach.com and the WACH Fox App. The station also will carry the Class 3A, 4A and 5A title games at Williams-Brice Stadium.
