El Dorado and Valencia Students and Staff Team Up to Offer Professional Broadcast of CIF Football Finals
El Dorado High School's varsity football team competed in the CIF Southern Section Division 7 Championship Game on Saturday, November 25. For the finals, El Dorado was selected to host the event at Bradford Stadium in Placentia. Every game at the stadium is broadcast on the NFHS Network, the leader in streaming live and on-demand high school sports across the country. Typically, the stream is provided through a fixed camera setup to track movement on the field. The week before the game, Valencia High School teacher Rod Boaz reached out to El Dorado to offer to enhance the live stream. Valencia has a Sports and Event Broadcasting class and Mr. Boaz, EDHS class of 1984, was excited to plan and prepare for the broadcast.
We are committed to being a dynamic and supportive learning community that prepares each and every student for success now and in the future.
