Stephenson High School was awarded $500 last month for scoring the biggest cable television audience during the 2010 high school football season.

The Jaguars’ 21-14 overtime win over Gwinnett County’s Parkview High on Aug. 27 was viewed by more than 1,000 households.

Comcast challenged metro Atlanta high schools featured on episodes of “GHSA On Demand” to rally their community to watch their team’s episode. The two schools featured in the episode share the $1,000 prize.

Stephenson principal Brian Bolden was thrilled about the Jaguars’ Comcast win.

“It is a great pleasure to accept this prize from Comcast,” he said. “The money will be used as part of our new Hall of Fame project, which recognizes Stephenson High School students who excel in one of three categories: athletics, academics or the arts. I’d like to thank the friends and family of Stephenson High School for their continued support of our students.”

“GHSA On Demand” spotlights Georgia High School Sports. The up-close and personal episodes showcase the teams, schools and fans and highlights all of the action. For more information, visit www.facebook.com
