High School Football America

He's been the voice of Indiana high school championships for years, so it stands to reason that High School Football America would team-up with Greg Rakestraw of Home Town Sports for a preview of the upcoming season.

Click here to get Rakestraw's thoughts on the top teams this year and next year's expansion to six classifications.

Rakestraw is the third Indiana guest to appear on our national show.

Last year, we spoke with Sheridan's Larry "Bud" Wright after becoming the state's all-time winningest.  In September of 2011, we talked with Gehrig Dieter of South Bend Washington after he set the national receiving yards record with 437 yards.
