FHSAA Inks Agreement With MaxPreps
May 18, 2017
The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) and MaxPreps, the online high school sports leader, have announced a planned partnership agreement that will make MaxPreps the FHSAA’s exclusive scores and statistics provider. The agreement will be for five years.
“For the past 15 years, MaxPreps has been known as the leader in online high school sports,” FHSAA Executive Director Dr. Roger Dearing said. “We are thrilled to give our coaches, student-athletes and fans the ability to access real-time scores and statistics via their digital platforms.”
MaxPreps and the FHSAA will offer a publishing platform across desktop, tablet and mobile devices that will streamline the process of managing scores and statistics from its nearly 800 member schools along with several thousand contests each month.
Beginning in the 2017-18 school year, member school coaches will be required to submit scores to MaxPreps after each game to accurately track regular season standings and results used for the FHSAA State Series. In addition, coaches will have the opportunity to submit statistics in order to be included in FHSAA statewide statistical leaderboards, records, media publications and other initiatives.
FHSAA.org will feature live scores from MaxPreps on its homepage along with MaxPreps automated postseason brackets for each sport (mobile, app and desktop). The partnership also enables all box score information published on MaxPreps.com to be automatically provided to the FHSAA for use in managing various initiatives.
“MaxPreps is honored to partner with the Florida High School Athletic Association to provide an efficient and streamlined process to highlight all member schools and Florida student-athletes,” said Andy Beal, president and founder of MaxPreps. “MaxPreps is committed to working with State High School Associations nationwide to protect and strengthen education based athletics. We look forward to working with the FHSAA to help further their goals and provide positive coverage of all member schools.”
