Escambia County High School and AL.com are hosting the first-ever Coastal Connection Media Day on Thurs., Aug. 3, at ECHS.

Some 19 schools will be represented at the media day. Coaches, along with a few players from each school, will have an opportunity to talk about their upcoming seasons in a press conference question and answer type period with interviews with reporters from newspaper, TV and radio that could follow afterward.
