Rocky Mount's Tom Suiter, Football Friday


- Rocky Mount's Tom Suiter

Since Rocky Mount native son Tom Suiter started "Football Friday" on Raleigh's WRAL TV5, haven't you high school football fans ever wondered how he and his staff can put together a show of highlights so quickly after the players have left the field?

Most games end around 10 p.m., and yet, come 11:35, he and his crew have clips from 25-to-28 games from the Triangle eastward ready to show you.

Suiter, who grew up just blocks away from Rocky Mount High, has detailed the events that go on every week to get "Football Friday" on the air.
