Inaugural Hall of Fame High School Classic set for Saturday in Canton

The inaugural Pro Football Hall of Fame High School Classic will be held Saturday, Sept. 6, and will feature six high schools that each graduated a member of the most elite club in sports — the 382 individuals who have been enshrined in Canton.

All three games will be broadcast via FloSports, a live-streaming service that provides access to thousands of live events per year across 20 sports. For more information, go to FloCollege.com.

Leading off the triple-header of high school games will be Canton GlenOak (DAN DIERDORF, Hall of Fame Class of 1996) against Cleveland East Tech (BOB BROWN, Class of 2004) at noon. Game 2 features two rival schools from the Pittsburgh area: Pittsburgh Central Catholic (DAN MARINO, Class of 2005) and Woodland Hills (JASON TAYLOR, Class of 2017) at 3:30 p.m. The finale will showcase Canton McKinley (MARION MOTLEY, Class of 1968) and Cleveland Heights (TOM MACK, Class of 1999) at 7 p.m.

Mack, along with Hall of Famer ANTHONY MUÑOZ (Class of 1998), will be in attendance.

Game tickets range in price from $6 for students (pre-sale, fees included) up to $21 for Gold Section seats and are good all day. (Fans can watch all three games for one ticket with stadium re-entry allowed.) For more information and to buy tickets in advance at a discount over game-day gate prices, click here.
