CBS Needs Homeschool Game Reporters

8/29/2013

MaxPreps is developing a nationwide network of live reporting from sideline fans. Any fan with a love for their team and a smartphone can turn their team into a feature 'Game Of The Week' for MaxPreps.

You only commit to one game at a time and let them know by signing in at your team's MaxPreps schedule page.

For more details, see their simple guide at MaxPreps Quixcore.

These reports are essential to building a better communication system throughout the national homeschool football network.

In addition to the Quixcore reports, we urge each coach to assign a team parent the task of texting halftime and final scores to the state sports media network. The visibility in local media is a intricate part of the precious exposure which helps build the rosters for future seasons.

In future posts we will discuss the viability of webcasting from the bleachers, using Ustream.tv.

The Battle Of Polling Results

8/27/2013

In recent ears, Massey Ratings has had their ups & downs. They were recently licensed to USA Today for high school football. The down side is that coaches have very little opportunity to assist in the full reporting of results, stats, rosters, and schedules. They seem to rely on the spotty results of their national team of news journalists.

But since this is still for the most part "preseason", we will compare the Top 25 rankings and order for the two rival ranking services. NHFCS cannot yet employ Massey formulas because USA Today omits many prominent homeschool teams from their rankings.

USA Today Rank	CBS Sports Rank	Team	Freeman#	Massey#
1	3	Carolina Pride (Charlotte, NC)	7150	8724
2	2	Central Virginia HomeSchool (Richmond, VA)	6574	9448
3	6	Columbus Crusaders (Galena, OH)	9776	9788
4	15	Crown (Woodstock, GA)	11375	9987
5	5	Tulsa NOAH HomeSchool (Tulsa, OK)	9465	10485
6	7	Maryland Christian (Bel Air, MD)	9915	10645
7	4	Lighthouse Christian (Springfield, MO)	7913	11168
8	22	Airborne for Christ (Charlotte, NC)	12965	11625
9	13	Dallas HSAA North (Plano, TX)	11040	12076

Weekly Top Ten Rankings

8/27/2013

0 Comments

CBS Sports released their updated Homeschool Prep Football rankings for August 27th. Division 1 saw a little movement at the top spot. The Indianapolis Lions enjoy their very first claim as the top homeschool div. 1 team.

Defending national champions, Richmond Disciples slid back to #2 for the week.

Troy Defenders also entered the top group, coming up to #10, as Crown Athletics had a disappointing early season loss.

This weekend will be the first head to head action for many of the teams across the nation. Much of the preseason formula is based on strength of schedule and returning players.

Division 2 rankings will be delayed until further game results are reported.
See the entire list at: http://www.nhfcs.org/rankings.html. The NHFCS will post updated rankings each Tuesday throughout the football season, ending with a national championship announcement on Dec. 1st.
