Amador County – “Our Sports Show” on TSPN kicks off its Mother Lode League high school football season this weekend with the Argonaut Mustangs hosting Liberty Ranch in the “Game of the Week” airing at 12:30 p.m. Saturday.

The Mustangs open the 2011-2012 preseason Friday hosting Liberty Ranch Hawks of Galt. Game of the Week sportscasters Frank Halvorson and Jim Vinciguerra will announce the game for TSPN, with camera work by Tommy Fox.

TSPN Vice President Sue Slivick said this is the 23rd season of the Game of the Week, which started covering MLL football in 1988. Coverage will continue through the season, all the way to the CIF Championship Playoffs, and “hopefully both of out teams will make it to the post season.” The rotating coverage will cover Amador High games, beginning next week, when the Thundering Herd hosts Foothill.

Argonaut High School, under Coach Rick Davis, features a roster of 33 players, including 14 seniors and 19 juniors. Amador High School Coach Bill Baker returns with 26 players, including 11 seniors, 14 juniors and one sophomore. The Herd opens play this week hosting Millenium of Tracy.

The Game of the Week first airs at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, and the game repeats 19 times through the week. TSPN airs on Comcast Channel 7, and Volcano Vision Channel 5, and for those without cable, it can be seen streaming online at TSPNtv.com.

Our Sports Show airs at 12:30 p.m. and at 12 midnight, seven days a week, and also shows from 8-10:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Sue said the Game of the Week gives local businesses different packages of “very affordable advertising opportunities,” if people want to get their businesses on the broadcast.
