How we’re getting high school football scores this year — and how you can help

With another high school sports season starting up in the Columbus and Phenix City area, we would like to take the opportunity to share an exciting new feature that will supplement our coverage this year.

The Ledger-Enquirer is partnering with ScoreStream for real-time collection and reporting of high school results. On Friday nights, for example, you’ll find up-to-the-minute scores on ledger-enquirer.com from high school football games across the Ledger-Enquirer’s coverage area.

The best part of this new system is that coaches, parents — and just plain fans — are invited to help report scores by using the ScoreStream mobile app (download information here). ScoreStream is a crowd-sourcing-based operation that, for instance, should allow us to greatly increase the number of Friday night football scores that we’re able to report. The ScoreStream app also allows users to upload photos and video clips from the games they’re watching.

We’ll all be getting to know ScoreStream better in the months to come. For now, bookmark us, share what you see, and return often to ledger-enquirer.com.

Don’t see your school listed? Email us at online@ledger-enquirer.com and put SCORESTREAM in the subject line.
