Nevada Prep - We'll be right back!

We must have total coverage

The number of high schools continues to grow in Nevada. The number of high school athletes in this state keeps the same rapid growth trend. Covering all of them might seem impossible and maybe it is. There, however, only one way to find out.

Complete statewide coverage is the goal of NeveadaPrep.com. From the 4A state football championship to a girl's basketball game in Alamo to Olympic hopefuls skiing in Tahoe, every sport at every level will get covered. It isn't going to be easy. We won't make it to every game and meet. We won't get to write about every single student-athlete. We're going to try, though.

We'll need your help. Whether it is joining our burgeoning stable of writers and photographers, submitting game statistics or passing along a tip on a student-athlete deserving of extended coverage, every little bit will help. It isn't for us. Sure, we're doing thanks to an interest in Nevada prep athletic, but other than meeting some of the great kids playing sports here and getting to see more games than any two people should, we aren't getting much out of it. We're here for you.

We're here for the kid who wants to follow his old high school football team while he serves his country overseas.

We're here for the grandparents on the other side of the country who can't make it to their granddaughter's volleyball games every week.

We're here for coaches and officials so they have a place they can communicate without interference.

Most of all, we're here for the kids, the student-athletes of Nevada.

Let's face it; every kid wants to see his or her name in the paper or on a sports Web site. Every kid wants the chance to have their on and off field accomplishments seen by as many people as possible. Family, friends, fellow athletes, and — you never know — college recruiters can all come here and see what's going on.

For now, there isn't much going on. We're redesigning the site to make it more user friendly and interactive. Remember, it's for you, we just make it work. We're building a crop of writers and photographers who are gearing up to bring you the best coverage possible once the new school year starts in August. We have some ideas that might work and might not. We're open to your suggestions and comments. We want to hear from you.

Until things are up to where we want them to be, bear with us. Let us know you are out there and what you are interested in seeing. And once we get a final countdown on when we'll be going live again, you'll be the first to know.

Cheers,
