The Prep Zone is expanding. Beginning in August, our broadcast coverage will now include Duval County.
In addition to video (via the NFHS Network) & radio coverage (92.1 FM/1230 AM Gainesville and 100.1 FM/900 AM Ocala) in Alachua & Marion County, fans will have an opportunity to watch Jacksonville area football and volleyball games online thanks to a partnership with DuvalSports.com.
