St. John Bosco and the NFHS Network will form an affiliate partnership to produce and live stream high school sporting events powered by students.

BELLFLOWER, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — St. John Bosco High School is leading the way in bringing coverage of high school sports to the masses. On the heels of their partnership with For A Bright Future Foundation that brought a brand-new media lab to their campus and their subsequent plans to launch their own streaming network, Bosco+, St. John Bosco has now established an affiliate partnership with the NFHS Network.

The NFHS Network, operated by PlayOn! Sports, is the leading network for access to high school sports in the country, offering audiences unlimited access to live and on-demand games. St. John Bosco, as an NFHS Network Affiliate, will produce selected Bosco home and away games, and other games in the CIF Southern Section for the Network as a result of this new partnership. The NFHS Network will provide camera systems for the school’s baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, soccer and swimming facilities as well as production software for the school’s media lab. Further, the NFHS Network will collaborate with St. John Bosco’s Film & Media Arts Pathway program on training and curriculum development for its students, who will produce each live event.

“St. John Bosco is thrilled to be at the forefront of this exciting step forward in high school sports media. By forming an affiliate partnership with the NFHS Network, the leader in high school sports broadcasting, we’re not only providing wider coverage for our championship-winning athletic programs to our fans, but we’re also providing an incredible learning opportunity to our Film & Media Arts Pathway students who will be producing the games. This step, made possible by the For a Bright Future Foundation Media Lab that opened at St. John Bosco in February, is huge for our school community and for high school sports across the country,” said Dr. Brian Wickstrom, St. John Bosco President & CEO.

“The NFHS Network is proud to partner with St. John Bosco to empower students to gain real-world experience in broadcast journalism through the prestigious Film & Media Arts Pathway program,” said David Rudolph, PlayOn! Sports CEO. “We look forward to seeing the talent of the student-broadcasters and student-athletes at St. John Bosco showcased to a wider audience.”

The Film and Media Arts Pathway is a professional industry preparation program at St. John Bosco designed to prepare students for collegiate film school. From screenwriting, production and design to directing and producing, students learn about the business of the media industry through a hands-on, project-based approach. Senior Film & Media Arts Pathway student Jerrod Montgomery is excited to get started. He said, “To have this opportunity to learn from the best in the business and to actually produce a game at a professional level for a platform like the NFHS Network is something I never thought I’d be doing in high school.”

The partnership will involve a multi-sport, student-powered production initiative for Bosco home and away games and will later expand to additional schools in Southern California to expand the broadcast web for the NFHS. St. John Bosco is set to distribute the replays of the live games on their forthcoming streaming platform, Bosco+. The partnership is slated to kick off with St. John Bosco’s National Championship winning football team’s home opener on Friday, August 18 versus Liberty High School.

“As the head football coach at St. John Bosco High School, I am extremely excited to be partnering with the NFHS Network this upcoming season,” said Head Coach Jason Negro. “Bosco Football has become a national brand, so this new venture will help us expand our program’s exposure across the entire country. This unique partnership will also provide professional level production experience for the talented students in our school’s Film & Media Pathway.”

Head Basketball Coach at St. John Bosco, Matt Dunn, expressed his excitement for the partnership as well. St. John Bosco’s basketball program had a historic 2023 season with the team advancing to the CIF Open Division Final for the first time in school history. He added, “Being able to offer this type of innovative opportunity to our students, both in the classroom and in our athletic programs, is what we’re all about at Bosco. Not only will our Pathway students get to learn from the best, but our athletes will get to play in front of a larger global audience.”

More information about the St. John Bosco vs Liberty football game, set to stream on the NFHS Network on Friday, August 18, will be available in the coming week.

A NEW LIFE, a film by Choice Skinner premiering August 11, 2023

Filmmaker Choice Skinner on-set of his new romantic dramedy A NEW LIFE

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — New romantic dramedy feature film, A NEW LIFE, premieres a moving story of family, love, and new beginnings with its North American TVOD release today, August 11, 2023, on Amazon Prime, and all major digital platforms.

A NEW LIFE comes from award-winning filmmaker Choice Skinner (Wingman Inc., Black Lightning Tobias’ Revenge) and follows Ronald Ferguson, a devoted father who reluctantly enters back into the dating scene with the help of his young daughter, Briana. It’s been six years since the untimely passing of his wife Stephanie, when a parent-teacher meeting at his daughter’s school introduces Ronald to Serena, an enchanting teacher who captivates him instantly. Despite their strong attraction towards each other, Ronald struggles with severe emotional barriers due to the loss of Stephanie, making it difficult for him to open himself up to Serena and new love.

The film stars Chris Rouse (The Wrong Valentine) as Ronald and Daffany McGaray Clark (John Henry, Fosters) as Stephanie, along with key roles from Kyndra Mack (A Rose In Concrete), Danny Joo (All American), Danny Royce (NCIS), Joan Moten (Maggie) and Kailah Ami, making her acting debut alongside NFL star Josh Butler.

Looking to tell a story showcasing Black men through another lens, Skinner explains “Black men are multi-faceted and so much more than what is often shown in current media. I hope this film will entertain audiences, but also help change the narrative by offering a different perspective of black men today.”

Skinner wrote, directed, edited and produced the project under his Darkan Entertainment banner, which he formed in 2010, an independent film and media production company dedicated to creating high-quality film, television, and media content with a strong focus on redemptive and empowering themes, expressly related to the Black community.

A Brooklyn native, Skinner first gained attention as a filmmaker for his award-winning dramatic short Brotherly Love, followed by winning Octavia Spencer’s Facebook Short Film Competition with his short A Second Thought. He went on to direct his first full length feature film, Wingman, Inc., teaming with writer-producer Tony Germinario.

Skinner began his entertainment career as an actor and has amassed numerous credits including the TV shows All American, The District, How I Met Your Mother, The Shield, and Lost, as well as the films Killjoy 2 Delierance From Evil, Black Magic, Cryptz, Transylmania, and Free Samples starring Jessie Eisenberg and Jason Ritter. Currently, Skinner is in development on the feature horror film The Legend Of Ciscero.

Available TVOD Beginning August 11, 2023 on Amazon Prime and other major digital platforms.

Search begins today for nation’s top linebacker; celebration event planned for January 2024

CHICAGO, UNITED STATES, August 10, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Contact: Matthew Butkus

BUTKUS AWARD^® 39th SEASON WATCH LIST ANNOUNCED
Search begins today for nation’s top linebacker; celebration event planned for January 2024

The 39th annual Butkus Award^® selection process for the top linebackers in the country got underway today with the release of the collegiate preseason watch list.

The number of linebackers on the watch list, 51, is a nod to the storied “51” pro jersey worn by the award’s namesake, Dick Butkus, who was named by NFL Films as the greatest defensive player in football history. The Butkus Award recognizes the best linebackers in football.

Candidates for the college Butkus Award are on the watch list from 44 schools, including a previous finalist: Jamon Dumas-Johnson of Georgia and the two recurring semifinalists: Ohio State’s Tommy Eichenberg and UConn’s Jackson Mitchell. The Big Ten leads all conferences with 12 representatives, followed by the SEC with 11. Teammates from seven schools – Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State – have been named to the list and all 10 Division I FBS conferences are represented. The list also features one FCS player.

The award semifinalists are expected to be named Oct. 30 with finalists to follow Nov. 20. The winner will be named on or before Dec. 6. Appearing on the watch list is not a requirement to win the award.

“I am always excited about seeing our great watch list players on the field,” said Butkus, the College and Pro Football Hall of Famer. “When an outstanding player receives the Butkus Award he will know two things: First, he is recognized as the best of the best linebackers in America; Second, and in the long run most important, he will understand this recognition brings a responsibility of giving back.”

All 2023 Butkus Award winners will be honored at a televised event in Jan. 2024. BTN (the Big Ten Network) aired the event last season, featuring Butkus and numerous noted NFL Alumni. To watch the show online via YouTube, click here.

Founded in 1985, the Butkus Award honors linebackers at three levels while supporting causes important to the Butkus family. Causes include the Butkus Takes Heart™ initiative encouraging early cardiovascular screening among adults, and the I Play Clean^® initiative encouraging athletes to train naturally without performance-enhancing drugs.

A 51-member expert panel of coaches, scouts, and journalists guides the selection process. Past winners of the collegiate award include such greats as Patrick Willis, Von Miller, Luke Kuechly, Devin White, Roquan Smith and many more. The Butkus Award is increasingly focused on recognizing linebackers who consistently play off the ball on their feet in a two-point stance in traditional form.

The Butkus Awards will be unveiling a new trophy design for this year’s recipients. Designed by renowned sculptor George Lundeen, whose works include the Red Grange and Dick Butkus statues outside Memorial Stadium at the University of Illinois.

Jack Campbell of Iowa was the 2022 recipient. The 18th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions was also the recipient of the National Football Foundation’s prestigious William V. Campbell Trophy, annually awarded to college football’s top scholar-athlete.

The watch list for the 2023 Butkus Award for high school players will be released later this month. The Butkus Award watch list will be posted on the new Butkus Award website, thebutkusaward.com, powered by American Eagle, a global website development and digital marketing agency.

Super Bowl Champion Keith Jackson

Southern Heritage Classic Founder Fred Jones

Super Bowl Champion Keith Jackson will speak to attendees of the Southern Heritage Classic Coaches Luncheon on September 8th.

MEMPHIS, TENNESSE, UNITED STATE , August 7, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Retired NFL player and broadcast analyst Keith Jackson will serve as the special guest speaker during the 34th Southern Heritage Classic Coaches Luncheon presented by FedEx on Friday, September 8th. The luncheon will take place at noon in the Renasant Convention Center in downtown Memphis.
Founder of the Southern Heritage Classic, Fred Jones, believes that Jackson is the perfect selection for this year’s luncheon. “We are excited to have a man of his stature and accomplishments speak during the Classic Coaches Luncheon. Like our previous speakers, Keith Jackson has had a career that exemplifies hard work, dedication, and excellence. I look forward to him sharing some of his experiences and accomplishments with us,” he said.

A native of Little Rock, Arkansas, Jackson has had a decorated career in football. In 1988, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Jackson as the 13th pick of the first round in the National Football League draft. During Jackson’s first season in the NFL, he was the NFC Offensive Rookie of the Year and the only first-year player to be selected by the NFL for the Pro Bowl. In his nine seasons (1988 – 1996) with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Miami Dolphins, and Green Bay Packers, Keith was selected to the Pro Bowl six times and is a three-time All-Pro. In his final season, Keith assisted the Packers to a 16-3 record and a win in Super Bowl XXXI. Keith finished his career with 441 receptions for 5,283 yards and 49 touchdowns.

After retiring from the NFL in 1997, Jackson combined his communications degree and professional playing experience to become a broadcast analyst with TNT, the Oklahoma Sooner Football Radio Network, FOX Sports Network, and the Arkansas Razorback Sports Network. He was also a color analyst with IMG Network.

In 1992, Jackson’s vision of helping at-risk youth became a reality with the incorporation of his non-profit P.A.R.K. (Positive Atmosphere Reaches Kids). He serves as president of the P.A.R.K. Inc. Board of Directors.

The Classic Coaches Luncheon is held annually to celebrate the Southern Heritage Classic Football Game, the competing schools, and their head coaches. This year, Coach Alonzo Hampton and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff Golden Lions will take on Coach Eddie George and the Tennessee State University Tigers on September 9th at the Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com.

LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, August 4, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Just Works, a social enterprise that provides payroll, benefits, HR, and compliance — all in one place, is sponsoring the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce‘s Annual Bid Whist and Casino Day. The tournament will take place on Sunday, August 20th. Registration will begin at 11:00 am. Lunch will be served at 12:00 PM. The tournament will start at 1 PM. The entry fee is $50 per person and there will be over $1,000 in cash and prizes.

For those unfamiliar with bid whist, it is a partnership trick-taking variant of the classic card game whist. Bid whist adds a bidding element to the game that is not present in classic whist. Bid whist remains popular particularly in U.S. military culture and a tradition in African-American culture.

The SCBCC is a nonprofit 501(c)(6) business organization dedicated to improving the economic environment for the minority business community and fostering business development and prosperity. The card game competition has been a tradition of the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce for nearly 30 years.

“Our annual tournament is a great way for guests and members to connect in a fun environment, “says William Paige, Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce Long Beach Area President. “It’s an opportunity to support our youth and our elderly while giving away cash and prizes.”

The annual bid whist tournament is a great opportunity for networking and fun, while also supporting a good cause. All proceeds from the event will go to support YouthBuild, a high school diploma program for disadvantaged youth ages 16-32. Funds are also being raised for Alzheimer’s and dementia research.

“We believe in the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce’s mission to promote economic development and opportunity within the Black community. This event is a great way to bring people together while also supporting a worthy cause. We hope you’ll join us on August 20th” says JustWorks team.

The tournament will take place at 729 West Anaheim Street, Unit C, Long Beach, CA 90813. Registration is available at https://www.BlackChamberofCommerce.org
