Rankings Posted Every Thursday: Basketball rankings will likely be released every Thursday. Look for the next set rankings to be released November 29.

 

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.

 

Check the website: The IGHSAU website is the best and fastest way to check basketball-related news. While most news will be posted on the home page, the basketball home page is the best place to look at scores, schedules, news and rankings.

 

Quik Stats Iowa is Back:  QuikStats Iowa  is now live for the 2007-08 season. Coaches can now log on to put in rosters for the upcoming season.

 

Like last season, submitting stats requires a password.  (No password is required to go online and look at stats). Your schoolÕs password hasnÕt changed from last season. It is also the same password your  football, volleyball, track and softball coaches used.  You may want to ask your fellow coaches for it if you canÕt locate or donÕt know your password or feel free to email Jason Eslinger at jasoneslinger@ighsau.org and IÕll send it to you.

 

QuikStats Iowa will be the official online area for high school basketball stats. WeÕve made some improvements to the online site; we now include offensive/defensive rebounds, box scores and a cumulative stats section to name just a few. I think you will appreciate the changes.

 

I say this every year: IÕd like to see 100 percent participation. Seeing how every level of college and professional sports statistics can be easily accessed online, it would be nice to see  IowaÕs high schools follow suit. I know that working on computers isnÕt everyoneÕs cup of tea. If that is the case, find someone that is computer-savvy – a student manager for example – and have them put in the information.  If everyone uses the system – everyone wins.
