NBC Sports will spotlight Juneau as part of a documentary on what football means to communities, Juneau-Douglas High School football coach Rich Sjoroos announced on Facebook.
The network has chosen a handful of cities nationwide to feature.
Juneau, home to the Crimson Bears, was selected from among more than 15,000 high school football programs in the United States.
A production crew will travel to the capital city this weekend to film Saturday’s game against Anchorage’s Dimond High School, scheduled for 3 p.m.
According to Sjoroos’ post, NBC will also interview players, parents and fans.
The footage is set to air as part of NBC’s Super Bowl pregame programming on Feb. 8, 2026.
Sjoroos encouraged residents to attend and “show all of America how much football means to Juneau.”

NOTN- Ketchikan police shut down the Visitor’s Bureau on Front Street Wednesday morning after a suspicious device was discovered on a wooden bench outside the building.
Officers responded around 8:12 a.m. and worked with Port Security to establish a perimeter. Video footage from inside the building was reviewed while the area remained closed to the public. A Carnival cruise ship was docked nearby at the time, but passengers had not yet disembarked. They were instructed to stay onboard and avoid the port side of the vessel closest to the device.
Police photographed the device and consulted with an Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician, who determined it was safe to move. Officers then removed it and secured it off-site.
The area reopened and operations returned to normal at 9:47 a.m. The Ketchikan Police Department says it maintained communication with the U.S. Coast Guard during the incident. The case remains under active investigation until the device can be fully examined by an EOD specialist

NOTN- September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and advocates in Juneau say the observance is an important chance to break stigma and share resources.
Jessica Gray, of NAMI Juneau, said Alaska continues to face persistently high rates of suicide, with nearly 200 deaths each year.
‘In Alaska, suicide is the second leading cause of death for ages 10 to 24,” Said Gray, “Young people don’t want to feel like a burden. There’s so much stigma surrounding the topic as well. We don’t talk about mental health the same way that we talk about physical health.”
Gray noted that free resources are available statewide, including the Alaska Careline and the national suicide prevention hotline. Both are available 24/7 for people in crisis.
NAMI events throughout September have been aimed at creating open dialogue and community support.
A Wall of Remembrance launched during First Friday at the Juneau Arts and Culture Center.
Gray said building community connections is one of the most powerful protective factors against suicide.
“That’s why Suicide Prevention Awareness Month is so important, because it opens up the conversation, and it gives people a chance to know that they’re not alone, that it is okay to ask for help,” Gray Said “It is okay to have these conversations about such a hard topic. It’s really powerful in that sense, because it builds connection. And we know that connection is one of the primary protective factors for suicide.”
Support group meetings will be taking place for the rest of the month, visit NAMI’s calendar, available at NAMI Juneau’s website for more details.
