I was checking Twitter on Monday and I saw the @BulletinSport account had a new mention. The tweet came from what looked to be the NFHS Network.
The NFHS Network – National Federation of High Schools – is a nationwide website that allows people to create an account and watch live streamed high school sports and events. It’s like Netflix for high school athletics.
The tweet, filled with grammar mistakes and emojis, read “GAMEDAY Varsity Football 2022 Patrick County vs. George Washington – Oct, 10/2022 7.00 PM,” and tagged 10 different accounts: the Bulletin, Patrick County High School, one for PCHS football, PCHS Cougar Cheer and Hype Squads, a PCHS coach, G.W.-Danville High School, GWHS football, and a couple private citizens who don’t seem to have any connection to either school.
The account had the NFHS Network logo as its avatar, and NFHS Network as its name. To those who don’t know, it would certainly look like a legit way to find a stream for that particular game.
