Very much so.

There are only a few and I haven’t heard anything. There are several freshmen, however, who will play significant roles in the game.

The players on the sidelines without pads were not allowed to play since their enrollment process in the school was not entirely completed. They should be added soon (as well as a couple more players too). This is HC's largest roster in a number of years. They have depth this year and the ability to rotate players in and out.

Thomas More is where Covington Holy Cross plays their home games. It is a great arrangement for the Indians.

No

Yes and Yes

Varsity action (3 quarters) - Covington Holy Cross 21 Dayton 8 (freshman Ulysses Porter with 3 TDs - one rushing, one INT return and one receiving) JV action (1 quarter running clock) - Covington Holy Cross 7 Dayton 0

Thank you @Colonels_Wear_Blue! Holy Cross has officially joined the Turbostats family. Big one-time purchase because I am also getting a preloaded Surface Go too. Yearly subscription after should be minimal. We aren't going to fancy at the beginning, but there are a lot of features I want to explore. I hope that I can learn fast since opening night is in 9 days!

Holy Cross 27-8 over Pendleton County in two quarters of normal action. There were 2 sets of 10 plays each prior to that and another set of 10 plays with the JV afterwards.

Yes. HC rarely hosts scrimmages.

Covington Holy Cross scrimmages Pendleton County tonight (8/8) and Dayton on Friday night (8/11).

Unfortunately, GameChanger's football option is very immature. It is more a "scoring" mechanism than a "stat program". No way to attribute plays to individuals. No way to enter penalties. I would have liked to use HUDL, but our team's use of HUDL is very basic (that's putting it kindly).

Classic use of cottage cheese.

"The Smiles Champion Program is currently closed to any further submissions."

It was 36 runs, but what is a couple more runs among friends!

@Colonels_Wear_BlueIt looks like Statbroadcast is some sort of "presentation layer". It sure looks pretty and has lots of features for integration with other websites and creating a good fan experience. Unfortunately, the stat keeping software product from Statbroadcast (called Statinput) is very immature and currently is only available for tennis and beach volleyball. I still need to find another reliable stat keeping product. The Statbroadcast features list does mention a few that it integrates with - StatCrew, NCAA LiveStats, and DakStats. I will start with them. Time is short. Thanks for the tip.

Definitely going to do some research on it tonight. Thanks.

So the narcotics haven't worn off yet?

Thanks for the ideas. I clicked both links. NCAA Live Stats does not appear to work with Apple OS. Cybersports appears to be basketball only. My immediate need is football.

Digital Scout couldn't upload directly to KHSAA either, but I got pretty good at doing the manual entry to KHSAA. It was fine because I had the supporting reports from the software. It took me about 15 minutes for one game. I would hope for the same with the new software.

As many of you know, I am the high school football statistician for Covington Holy Cross. Today (which is less than 3 weeks before the start of the football season), I learned that our software company, Digital Scout, will no longer be in operation for providing statistical software for football, basketball and volleyball (I personally only care about football at this point). This is a shame for a few reasons - the timing of the announcement, that the software was free, and that the software was robust and easy to use. I am reaching out to all my friends, football statisticians and contacts at other high schools in Kentucky (and even other states) to recommend a replacement software for me. In less than 3 weeks, I need to have our AD purchase something new (because I'm certain other quality options are not free). I would then need to install it and learn how to use it by the start of the regular season on Friday, August 18. Preferences: Ability to be used on a tablet (since I enter stats on the field instead of the press box). If only Windows based, I would need to use a laptop and stay upstairs which is not my preference. Ability to enter a roster with key data about each player. Ability to enter a schedule for the season and the ability to enter basic rosters of the opposing teams. As plays are being entered during the game, the opposing team players stats need to update automatically too. Live stats to the Internet to a fan's website. Rosters and schedule would be visible with the ability to have links to see live stats by player as well. This also would include live play-by-play for those following a game on the Internet. Fan website should be friendly to view on a cell phone. Ability to edit stats either mid-game or afterwards (if a mistake is made). Ability to enter stats post-game (such as defensive stats) at the player level (not necessarily attached to particular plays). The software is "versioned". In other words, it grows with the game. For example, for new penalties and rule changes. There is a continuous effort by the company to fix bugs. Good customer service. Good ratings from other users. Plays are easy to enter with minimal data in order to accumulate player stats and keep up with such things as down, yards to go, and line of scrimmage. Ability to have lots of reports such as box score, game leaders, team stats, player stats, scoring summary, and play-by-play. That's the minimum. The next level of desired reports would be team and player cumulative reports for the entire season. Finally, a nice to have would be what I call decision or situational reports to enable the coaching staff to analyze team performance. Ability to create files with player data to easily import into MaxPreps. A cost that won't break the school budget! Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you might have! Obviously, I need to move fast. Locally, there are other schools in the same situation as me (who used Digital Scout) - many schools in Ohio, Bishop Brossart, Newport Central Catholic, Walton-Verona, and Dixie Heights are examples.

I ate a lot of it when I was a youngster. So much so, that I only eat it occasionally as an adult.

Did you see me wave as I went by you on my cruise ship?

Sorry, been out of town. I’ve heard that as well that they have had 7 on 7 success. I personally have not seen them yet, but scrimmages are just around the corner. It should be fun!

Every time that my wife is sick she makes me go there and pick up vegetable soup.
