High School Sports site launches on Kens5.com, USA Today – KENS 5 TV
SAN ANTONIO — Texas high school football is back, and we’re in the game with a brand new High School Sports website. KENS 5 Sports has teamed up with USA TODAY to put the spotlight on San Antonio-area teams. High School Sports offers all high schools a chance to be recognized here in Texas and across the nation.
San Antonio high school team pages are now live! You can find school pages in the menu at Kens5.com/hss or at USATODAYhss.com. We’ve already posted schedules and other features. Now we’re looking for photos, videos and content from you to build out each school’s page.
YourTake
One way you send content to us for your school page is by using YourTake.
YourTake makes it easy for anyone to upload and send photos from desktop or mobile. KENS 5 is notified and approves all content before it appears on the site.
Score Predictor
One popular features on the High School Sports site is the Massey Score Predictor. This online interactive simulator game allows fans to select any two varsity teams in the country and play them against each other to find the predicted score. Results are based on computer calculations that use current season stats from USA TODAY HS Sports Massey Ratings. Ken Massey created this score algorithm for BCS voting.
Super 10 Rankings
Each week, USA TODAY Sports will post the Super 25 national rankings. This year, Kens5.com is adding a Super 10 version just for San Antonio teams.
High School Sports is year-round coverage for Kens5.com and includes sections for posting your news about basketball, volleyball, cross country, track & field, wrestling, baseball, softball and more. All high schools and the local community are invited to rally behind their school pages during football season and beyond.
We are building a social community featuring content from all high schools, to be showcased on this platform, locally and nationally. San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Houston are now live and six more stations in Texas are being added. The program is now live in over 100 local markets nationwide and we’ll be making it bigger and better in Texas.
Wanted: No.1 Texas High School Fan
It’s time to show up for your school so we’re looking for your photos and videos of the No. 1 Texas High School Fan! The one who wears the school colors, but then goes the extra mile to really show how much they support the team.
You can send photos to us and have them appear on your dedicated school page by using YourTake. You can tweet them @KENS5 using #1TXFAN. Then follow our KENS 5 high school coverage on air and online at Kens5.com to see the best fans in the state of Texas!
