ATLANTA - Parkview High's football program is perhaps the premier team in the state.<br>
<br>
On Friday, the Lilburn school plays Norcross in a game that will take on added stature because the in-game highlights will be shown nationally on ESPN.<br>
<br>
"That's pretty big potatoes for high school kids," Cecil Flowe, coach of the two-time defending state champions, said Tuesday. "We're excited. That's some pretty big-time stuff."<br>
<br>
ESPN showcases a high school game with national significance during its Friday night college football telecasts.<br>
<br>
Parkview (6-0, 3-0 Region 8-AAAAA Div. A), which has won 36 games in a row, is ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press Class AAAAA rankings and No. 2 in various national polls.<br>
<br>
AT&T Broadband Channel 33, which is televising the Parkview-Norcross game in the Atlanta area, will provide ESPN with feeds during the network's coverage of Fresno State at Boise State.<br>
<br>
Of course, it takes two to tango, and Parkview can thank Norcross (5-0, 2 (0)- for providing a worthy opponent.<br>
<br>
Norcross is ranked No. 9 in Class AAAAA by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and is just out of the Top 10 in the AP poll.<br>
<br>
"We're fortunate enough to have a good team, and we're playing a very good team," Blue Devils athletic director Mike Embry said. "We made an announcement at school this morning, and the buzz is going really good around here right now."<br>
<br>
Kickoff for the game has been moved back to 8 p.m.<br>
