Inside the Big 33 Football Classic, The Super Bowl of High School Football | Central PA Podcast

This week on the Lead Lamp Podcast, A Central PA Podcast, we sit down with Garry Cathell and Nicole Whitmire from the legendary Big 33 Football Classic — one of the most iconic high school football all-star games in the country. Known as the “Super Bowl of High School Football,” the Big 33 has featured NFL legends like Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, Ben Roethlisberger, and Damar Hamlin — and remarkably, there has never been a Super Bowl without a Big 33 alum. But this episode goes beyond football. We dive into the incredible community impact behind the Big 33, including the heartfelt Buddy Program, girls flag football expansion, military tributes, host families, and the massive behind-the-scenes effort it takes to organize one of Central Pennsylvania’s biggest sports traditions. If you love football, community stories, Pennsylvania sports culture, or hearing what happens behind the curtain of major events, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. The Lead Lamp Podcast highlights the people, businesses, organizations, and stories that make Central PA unique. 🎟️ Learn more about Big 33 and Secure Tickets Online: https://big33.org Lead Lamp's Links: Instagram: https://instagram.com/leadlampmedia Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Leadlampmedia/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lead-lamp-media/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@leadlampmedia Website: https://leadlamps.com
