TRUSSVILLE — The Hewitt-Trussville football team will be the focus of an upcoming episode of Small Town Big Deal as the nationally televised program highlights high school football in the South.
The episode is scheduled for Thursday, March 12, 2020, at 9:30 p.m. EST/8:30 p.m. CST on RFD-TV.
The show filmed in Trussville on Oct. 25, 2019, for an episode that will showcase what high school football in the South represents and how the sport impacts each town.
With over one million viewers weekly, Small Town Big Deal is hosted by TV stars Rodney Miller and Jann Carl. Their show travels the country highlighting interesting people, communities and events in celebration of the countless great stories of America.
“We look for stories that fill us with pride, give us hope, make us laugh and remind us that national treasures are often found where we least expect them,” Carl, formerly with Entertainment Tonight, said. “That’s why we decided to showcase high school football. What is more small-town America that high school football.”
The Hewitt-Trussville football team concluded this past season with a 6-4 record. The Huskies defeated No. 1 Thompson in what was the season finale as Hewitt-Trussville did not obtain a playoff berth for the first time since 2012.
