Various commentators call the game every week, although Mike Hall and Tom Luginbill anchor the halftime report and in-game updates. In 2005, the game was called Old Spice Red Zone High School Showcase.

Old Spice High School Showcase aired only four games in 2005, but after much success ESPN expanded its schedule to a full thirteen game season. Part of what lead ESPN to expanding its schedule is, in 2005, ESPN aired the highest rated high school football game in television history. Nease High School (Florida) vs. Hoover High School (Alabama) garnered a 1.0 rating and attracted nearly one million households.
