This Week In High School Sports: Philip Rivers Returning To Athens High This Summer
A week after week see secondary school sports in the province of Alabama for as far back as week and a look forward to what is on draft. This is an assessment piece (kind of). 사설토토

Philip Rivers last played a football match-up at Athens High School on Nov. 12, 1999.

He and the Golden Eagles crushed Phillips of Birmingham 28-14 in the second round of the Class 5A end of the season games.

He'll be back on that equivalent field on Aug. 12 when his second St. Michael Catholic group takes on Athens in a preseason celebration game.

"It will be an amazing environment," Rivers said for the current week on Inside High School Sports on Sports Talk 99.5 FM in Mobile. "Clearly, my sibling (Stephen) and I both played there. Cody Gross is doing an amazing position. That will be a tomfoolery trip. We are making it like a retreat/camp outing for two or three days."

Waterways said St. Michael is taking the AHSAA choice of having an additional multi week of fall camp in the mid year in lieu of a customary spring preparing. With that being the situation, he needed to observe a preseason game before the Cardinals' season-opener against Class 5A Gulf Shores on Aug. 18.

"I was conversing with mentor Gross, and they were somewhat choosing what to do," Rivers said. "I said, 'Shoot, what might be said about us coming up there and playing?' We began kicking it around. I tracked down a spot for us to camp and do some profound stuff and some group holding stuff. It will be a flawless outing."

Streams' Athens group went 11-2 his lesser year, losing to Etowah in the Class 5A quarterfinals. As a senior, the Golden Eagles went 10-3. Seven days after that home win over Phillips, they lost at Gadsden 33-21 in his last game. He proceeded to star at N.C. State and the NFL prior to resigning the previous spring.
