IHSAA ENDORSES USE OF “STATS & GO” FOR STATEWIDE STATISTICS
The Indiana
High School Athletic Association is announcing its endorsement of “Stats &
Go” as its exclusive athletic statistics reporting and publishing service
beginning in the 2005-06 academic year.
“Stats
& Go” is a powerful online service that greatly simplifies the process of
recording, tabulating, publishing, and accessing comprehensive sports
statistics for everyone involved in amateur athletic leagues. “Stats & Go” allows coaches and their
statisticians to record and publish statistics completely online; reducing the
time the process takes from hours to minutes.
“Stats & Go” also automatically compiles and publishes these stats
to media outlets, meaning student athletes from all high schools in the
association will get the publicity and recognition they deserve. Moreover, students, parents, and fans can
track their favorite student-athletes and teams from anywhere simply by
accessing “Stats & Go” through the IHSAA website at www.ihsaa.org or at www.statsandgo.com.
“We are
optimistic this change will prove to be an enhancement to the
statistics-collecting process and allow us to expand this service to include
additional sports,” said IHSAA Commissioner Blake Ress.
The IHSAA
had previously compiled statistics for boys and girls basketball, football, and
boys and girls soccer. Through “Stats
& Go”, the association will add baseball, softball, and volleyball to its
previous sports. Future plans could include cross country, golf, swimming,
track and field, and wrestling.
“Gaining the endorsement of the IHSAA is very
exciting,” said Al Miller, Vice President of Athletic Relations with “Stats
& Go”. “We have registered teams and
leagues from across the country, but the IHSAA now joins
The IHSAA
had previously compiled all its statistics manually, with schools e-mailing or
faxing their information to the association office. With “Stats & Go”, each school will enter
its statistics for the week by Monday.
The IHSAA leaders then will be taken from “Stats & Go” and included
in the association’s weekly press release.
Coaches, fans, and media will be able to compare leaders by state,
class, conference, or nationally.
Use of
“Stats & Go” is free, supported fully by national, state, and local
sponsors.
