EPLN, Game Time Media partner to cover Eden Prairie Schools’ sports

Eden Prairie Local News (EPLN) and Game Time Media are teaming up this year to cover the home games of 13 sports at Eden Prairie High School. 

Game Time will stream the action to view football, volleyball and soccer streams this fall at EPEagles.Live starting on Sept. 6 and 8, with volleyball games against Lakeville South and Southwest Christian at 6:45 pm. The Eagles’ football home opener vs. Farmington will follow on Sept. 9, at 6:45 pm. Regular fall season streaming will run through Oct. 20.

Game Time’s Ace Sauerwein will cover the play-by-play, with EPLN sports editor Ryan Williamson providing color commentary. Game summaries will appear on EPLN’s sports page. And unlike other streaming services, Game Time’s service is free, thanks to Game Time’s sponsors.

“The real winner is EP High School – and the community beyond,” said Russ Reetz, associate principal of student activities at Eden Prairie High School. “Game Time’s team brings a professionalism that will provide a much better streaming experience. You are not going to miss a home game. And if you have extended family in other parts of the country, they’ll be able to tune in, too. The live web streams are free of charge to viewers, thanks to our amazing sponsors.”

“EPEagles.Live will provide fans unprecedented access to watch their favorite Eagles sports with a hometown voice,” said Sauerwein. “Game Time’s streaming team thanks its sponsors for helping to make streaming sports happen for EPHS home games.”

“I look forward to working with Ace to deliver quicker scores, key plays, big moments, what’s next – fresh news online and through our social media,” said Williamson. “Let the games begin!”

Here is the link to view all EP home and away game dates, times, locations, ticket information, web stream links, rosters and game results. If online ticket information and web streaming links are provided by the host school in advance of the away game, those links will appear. Most schools provide online ticket buying options, and some provide a web stream of the game. All the ticket and stream links for EPHS home games will be included.

Eden Prairie Schools will also stream home swim and dive meets this year to the EPHS YouTube channel.
