Fans will be able to watch their favorite teams compete during OSAA/U.S. Bank/Les Schwab Tires State Championships, beginning with this Saturday's 3A, 2A, 1A Football Finals at Hillsboro Stadium. This tripleheader will be the first live content on the site.
OSAA.tv already contains archived broadcasts and event coverage for other Fall activities, including cross country, volleyball and soccer.
