CAPE GIRARDEAU -- The Southeast Health webcast on KFVS12.com is scheduled to present the Warrenton Warriors vs. the Sikeston Bulldogs varsity high school state semifinal football game on Saturday afternoon from Sikeston High School. Live coverage is scheduled to begin at approximately 1:30 p.m.

The multi-camera webcast will be presented live around the world at KFVS12.com, and then archived on the web site for users to watch at their convenience. Both the live presentation and the archived versions will be available free of charge with no subscription needed. The archived version will be posted several hours after the end of coverage.

According to Paul Keener, KFVS12's Director of Marketing, playoff games are a welcome addition to the original Webcast schedule.

"We love it when a local team is successful in the playoffs and we're able to follow them," said Keener. "We want everyone who can to go to the game, but for those who can't make it or don't live near Sikeston, the webcast will allow them to enjoy the game live."

Official title sponsor of this webcast is Southeast SportsCare, a service of Southeast Health. Other sponsors are Morlan GM Superstore in Sikeston; Burns, Taylor, Heckemeyer and Green; Garage Door Company of Sikeston; The Southeast Coalition for Roadway Safety: and Animal Health Center. Play by play host for the game is scheduled to be former KFVS12 Sports Director Randy Ray.

"I said it last week and I'll say again how much it means to have great sponsors for these events," said Mike Smythe, General Manger for KFVS12.
