Rankings Posted Every
Thursday: Basketball rankings
will likely be released every Thursday. Look for the next set rankings to be
released December 4.
SEND IN YOUR SCORES: Once again, I will be posting a score list
during the week. E-mail your scores to Jason Eslinger at jasoneslinger@ighsau.org. Please be sure to include your teamÕs
record with each score and
feel free to include any noteworthy stats from your games. ALSO: Please add the Associated Press to your list of
people to report scores to. The AP does a national score list and is tracking
all Iowa High School girls and boys scores. Please call the APÕs 800 number
(800-300-8340) after all of your contests.
Coaches Required to
Use QuikStats: All coaches
are reminded that they are required
to post their basketball statistics online at www.quikstatsiowa.com.
There will be two checkpoints where statistics must be up to date. The
first deadline is Monday, January 5.
The final check date is Monday, February 2. The first offense for missing these deadlines is a letter that
will be sent to the coach, athletic director, principal and superintendent. The
second offense will result in the coach being suspended from coaching in the
postseason. If you have any problems or questions with QuikStats, please e-mail
Jason Eslinger at jasoneslinger@ighsau.org.
Site Availabilities
Now On the Website: The first
list of schools that have made its gyms available for regional tournaments has
been posted and can be viewed by clicking here. If you are not listed, but
would like to be considered as a regional host, please fill out the online site
availability form. This list will be updated periodically before pairings are
released.
Pairings: As opposed to previous years and due to the late
start of the season, basketball pairings will be released the week of January
9th.
Check the website: The IGHSAU website is the best way to check
basketball-related news. The basketball home page is the best place to look at
scores, schedules, news and rankings. The first basketball memo was published
on the site today as well as the rankings.
