For the second consecutive year, FSN Southwest's extensive spring football coverage also includes 30-minute Spring Game specials with game highlights and analysis from each school's annual intra-squad scrimmages premiering in May and telecast several times throughout the summer. SOUTHWEST SPORTS REPORT anchors John Rhadigan, Dana Larson, Ric Renner and Emily Jones file the nightly camping tour reports.
