For the 16th straight year, the National Football League‘s Cleveland Browns will celebrate high school football with its High School Game of the Week presented by Ohio CAT in association with Howard Hanna and Foreverlawn. Since the program began, nearly eight million votes have been submitted on ClevelandBrowns.com to decide the match-ups.
How the Game of the Week Works
Each week, four panelists nominate a game for the HSGOTW poll, where fans then vote to determine which match-up will be featured. The winning match-up receives extended game coverage across the Browns website and social media channels.
The winning team from the selected Game of the Week – weeks 1-10 of the high school regular season – receives $3,000 for their high school football program. At the conclusion of the season, the Browns announce the High School Coach of the Year, who will earn an additional $6,000 for their program.
