We are excited to be beginning our twelfth season of Bullets TV and our partner, the NFHS Network, on being able to provide you streaming of home events for many of our programs across the WCUSD #15 Athletic and Activity Department. What began as only broadcasting home varsity football games in the Fall of 2013, has now expanded to all home indoor events for both WHS and WJHS, as well as all home boys’ soccer, girls’ soccer, and football games. Currently, there are 186 events scheduled to be broadcast and produced by Bullets TV this school year, with more possible if we host IHSA and IESA postseason events.
