Five high school football programs are doubly-happy this Super Bowl Sunday.
Cleveland Heights (Ohio), Fort Dorchester (South Carolina), Horn Lake (Mississippi), Sprayberry (Georgia) and Starkville (Mississippi) each have two former players on the 53-man Super Bowl 57 rosters.
Before the game, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles reduced their game rosters to 48-players. That resulted in Eagles running back Trey Sermon being inactive, which dropped Sprayberry from having two players in the game to one at kickoff.
Overall 31 different states will be represented in football’s biggest game, plus two players from Australia.
