My24 Viewing Options in Milwaukee & Online!
(12pm on Tues 11/14) - We got word that My24 worked out a deal to carry all seven state championship games on Thursday and Friday. They reached out to let us know we can watch the game on local broadcast station My24 and it will also stream on My24Milwaukee.com for any family or friends outside of Milwaukee that would like to watch the game!
WKOW27, Catchy Comedy & 27 News App Options

This link will take you to their 'how to watch' and you can enter your zip code to see the over-the-air and cable channel options (i.e. Spectrum-Time Warner in Milwaukee says Channel 984 and Spectrum-Charter in Milwaukee says channel 190). Go there, put in your zip and see other options.
Looking for Photos?
Saber Gridiron Parents have organized photos into Google Photos albums throughout the year if you are looking for any photos from the Saber Football journey. Click here for a list of all photos from the year and here is the album from the Friday Night 11/10 Level 4 Playoff win over Hamilton.
NO FAN BUSES
Similar to how we handled this in 2021 and for our volleyball team earlier this season, we will not be providing fan buses. This is due to many logistical factors including the timing of the game, our need for buses in the district to route district students home after school on Friday, and the ability to have drivers available. Please plan your own travel accordingly.
