Inspiration
Game statistics are important because they are how college coaches and recruits know who we are and how we perform in the game. Without these, the likelihood of receiving an athletic scholarship or of walking onto a college team decreases. The system our high school and most high schools currently use is MaxPreps, which is somewhat unreliable because high coaches don't actually input their players' stats in the system. Both high school players and college coaches are at a disadvantage because of the lack of information they have access to.
What it does
The ScoreKeeper Pro will make it easier to input players' stats into a system that will benefit both high school and college coaches when analyzing high school player statistics.
