ESPN Coming to First Federal Lakewood Stadium for St. Ed's - Pine-Richland Matchup

First Federal Lakewood Stadium will be in the national spotlight on August 27th when ESPN comes to town to broadcast the State Champion Lakewood St. Edward Eagles vs. Pine-Richland Rams matchup.

Pine-Richland already had St. Ed's on their schedule before ESPN contacted them about televising the game. Pine-Richland coach Eric Kasperowicz was a bit surprised:

“When ESPN called, I said, ’What do you want this game for, ESPN Deportes or something?” Kasperowicz told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “They said they wanted it live for the big-time ESPN.”

Game time at First Federal Lakewood Stadium is 12 noon.

ESPN has broadcasted games from Lakewood before, most recently for the St. Ed's vs. Gilman home opener in 2014.

Pine-Richland is a high school near Pittburgh, PA and features four-star Quarterback recruit, Phil Jurkovec, that many colleges were interested in, including Ohio State. Jurkovec has made a verbal commitment to play college football at Notre Dame.
