Virginia association becomes 30th governing body state partner.
The Virginia High School League (VHSL) and MaxPreps, the online high school sports leader, have announced a multi-year partnership agreement that will enable the VHSL to provide a customized sports information platform for its member schools.
MaxPreps and the VHSL will offer a publishing platform across desktop, tablet and mobile that will streamline the process of managing sports information for its member schools. The partnership enables all box score information published on MaxPreps.com to be automatically provided to the VHSL for use in managing various initiatives.
Beginning with the winter season of the 2021-22 school year, coaches will be encouraged to submit statistics to MaxPreps after each game to accurately track regular-season standings and create statewide leaderboards.
Billy Haun, Executive Director of the VHSL said, “The Virginia High School League is excited to partner with MaxPreps to bring top level coverage and information to our students, member schools, fans, and everyone else connected to supporting high school athletics here in Virginia. We look forward to what this partnership will produce for our everyone involved with the VHSL.”
