The pieces are falling into place for the Boone-based High Country Grizzlies – the newest franchise of the American Indoor Football league that begins play in the spring of 2017. It looks as if they have a logo, a home and a TV contract.
At a Boone Town Council meeting last week, the High Country Grizzlies director of football/general manager William Thompson introduced the venture to the town. Johnson noted that the franchise has a contract with WHKY-TV to broadcast 10 of the Grizzlies games to 1.2 to 2.
