This is describing a contractual relationship between the media outlet and the UIL. It would not apply (I wouldn't think) to the broader press who are in attendance at the games and are reporting on the outcomes. After all, merely writing an article on the game does not mean the newspaper cannot print "political announcements or advertising of tobacco, liquor, wine or beer..."
Now, if press credentials are required to attend the event as an official member of the press, then I suppose similar restrictions could be placed on credentialed press reporters. But there would still be no restriction on "free-agent" reporters who just bought a ticket like everyone else.
