Thompson's Game Against Hewitt-Trussville To Be Televised On ESPN

ALABASTER, AL - A late-season match-up between Thompson High School and Hewitt-Trussville High School this year will have a national audience. ESPN announced this week that the October 26 game will be televised on their station at 6:30 p.m. that night. The game is a home game for Thompson.

The match-up is intriguing statewide for sure, but has national implications as well, in that the game will pit two of the top quarterback prospects in the nation in Hewitt-Trussville's Paul Tyson and Thompson's Taulia Tagaviolia. Both QBs are committed to the University of Alabama.
