For Rocky fans who just can't see making the four-hour-plus trip to St. Joseph, Michigan, for the regular season

football finale, QCSportsNet.com is pleased to announce plans to bring exclusive live play-by-play of the game

this Friday night! The kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m., Central time. Rock Island High School Football on

QCSportsNet.com is presented by Chris Elsberg State Farm Insurance.

With the game being played so far away, fans will be tuning in live via their computers and mobile devices, to

find out if Rock Island (5-3), the Western Big 6 conference champions, can go into the playoffs on a four-game

winning streak. The Rocks' opponents, the Ypsilanti (Mich.) Grizzlies, have a 4-4 record, but finished tied for

their conference championship at 4-1. The game site, St. Joseph, is in southwest Michigan, 159 miles west of

Ypsilanti on the Lake Michigan shoreline. That makes this a neutral site game, despite the 243-mile trip

through suburban Chicago traffic for the Rocks.

Games can be accessed via any desktop, laptop, or mobile device with Internet capability, by going to

QCSportsNet.com, which will contain preview information and a link to the live stream. Or, fans can directly

access the live stream by going to network1sports.com/station/qcsportsnet.

Michigan State University women's basketball/volleyball radio play-by-play announcer Keaton Gillogly will call

the action of Rocky vs. Ypsilanti this Friday night. Gillogly is also the play-by-play announcer for the Class A

Modesto (Calif.) Nuts minor league baseball team. He was formerly in the Midwest League, which includes

the Quad City River Bandits, as an announcer for the Kane County Cougars (2013) and Lansing Lugnuts (2012).

QCSportsNet.com, the Quad Cities' premier producer of live high school sports, will carry all Rock Island

football playoff games. In addition to Chris Elsberg State Farm Insurance, sponsors of Rock Island Rocks

Football are Crawford Company, American Family Insurance - Michael Orth Agency, Wheelan-Pressly Funeral

Homes, Comedy Sportz, Blackhawk Bank and Trust, Hungry Hobo, and Spellbound New Age & Gift Shop.

QCSportsNet.com will soon announce plans for live high school basketball during the 2015-16 season.
