'Battle of Brookfield' Moves to Thursday for TV Broadcast

East hosts Central on My 24 Thursday Night Lights contest.

Brookfield Central and Brookfield East would be rivals playing Tiddlywinks in a phone booth. But football on live TV? Yeah, that'll be big.

The Lancers visit the Spartans on Sept. 22 in their annual Greater Metro Conference game, and this time the game will be broadcast live on the My 24 Thursday Night Lights. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

East finished 9-2 last season and was second in the GMC with a 6-1 mark. Central was 6-4.
