The California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section (CIFSS) and MaxPreps.com, the online high school sports leader and a CBSSports.com site, have signed a partnership agreement for the next three years that will enable the CIFSS to provide a customized sports information platform for its member schools.
MaxPreps.com and the CIFSS will provide all member schools with a streamlined publishing platform for managing and promoting their sports information across desktop, tablet, and mobile. Coaches will be directed to submit complete scores and stats to MaxPreps.com after each game. This will enable all box score information to be published on MaxPreps.com and automatically provided to the CIFSS for use in efficiently managing various initiatives, including regular season standings, statistical leaderboards, section records, media publications and more.
"This partnership will provide increased accuracy, visibility and efficiency for the sharing of high school sports information, which is an essential element in the positive growth of high school athletics in the 21st century," said CIFSS Commissioner Rob Wigod. "We look forward to working together with MaxPreps.com and are proud to have them as our partner."
"MaxPreps.com was founded 11 years ago in California and we are honored to forge a long-term partnership in our home state with the CIF Southern Section," said Andy Beal, president and founder of MaxPreps.com. "With nearly 600 member high schools, the CIF Southern Section is widely recognized as an epicenter for high school sports and MaxPreps.com is excited to help celebrate this great tradition."
MaxPreps.com, one of the nation's most visited sites for high school sports coverage, has been on the prep sports scene since 2002 and has successfully partnered with 14 other high school state associations.
