The Nation's hottest place this week was the Nike World Campus in Beaverton, Oregon where the Top 150 Prep Football athletes came to compete in everything High School Football can throw at them in the off season. The Opening 2013 followed the Elite 11 in a 5 day spectacle in Beaverton, Oregon this week. This was a real success for Nike and the event and we were privileged to be a part of the coverage. You know if it is Prep Football and the Pacific Northwest we will be there to cover it of we can.
Joey Alfieri of Jesuit battles Budda Baker of Bellevue High School – two of the best athletes at The Opening- both from the Pacific NW. Baker made the All Camp team.
After the linemen's challenge wrapped up yesterday the 7 on 7 Nike National Championships took center stage on National Television. The results for any fan that attended were awe inspiring as big play after big play went down taking the brackets to the very end and the final play. The Nation's best Quarterbacks had at their disposal just an amazing array of receivers and backs to throw to but they faced the biggest and fastest defenses in the Country as well.
