ESPN is the worldwide leader in sports and especially football and in 2013, just like they have over recent years, the network will be airing a range of games from the high school ranks, including some of the top schools and teams in the country.

According to ESPN Media Zone, like in past years, the team held a high school kick off weekend last week and aired 13 games around the country involving a number of high profile teams, including over 10 defending champions from their respective states. ESPN airs games on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPNU or ESPN3 for the kickoff weekend and the rest of the schedule will be out later on in the season.

ESPN keeps detailed rankings for recruits as well as top players at each position and this year with Fox Sports 1 also adding coverage, high school sports is getting more and more popular on television.
