The South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) and MaxPreps, the online high school sports leader, have announced a partnership agreement.

SCHSL & MaxPreps Announce Partnership for Customized Sports Information Platform

How does this impact our use of Eurosport?

I'm curious what others think about the new MaxPreps website vs. Eurosport. It took some getting used to but I like it so far. I'm hoping the word gets out so more teams put their schedules in.

I LOVE IT!

I've been using it for the last 3 years over at Beaufort and it made life easier for us and for those players/parents who were stat hungry. It allows you to input different stats and it even keeps tabs on the players' stats over the years.

Although it takes some getting used to, it's not too difficult and it offers a LOT more than what Eurosport did


Curious, will we still be doing the weekly rankings like it was at Eurosport or will we use MaxPrep's already preset ranking system?

Just a reminder for all coaches, managers, referees, reporters, and fans to become familiar with MaxPreps, which will become the Scoreboard home to Palmetto State prep soccer in 2017!

A couple of quick comments/questions (or whines):

Is it possible to have another link on the SCSoccer home page for MaxPreps SC Girls Soccer? The current link takes you to the boys section (it doesn't really specify boys) and I haven't found a simple way to go to SC Girls Soccer - I can get there, but not simply (us old guys need simple).

Also, I've requested that the Governor's School For Science and Math be added to the Class A - Region II on the web page but it hasn't happened in over a week (I think they say it will take 24 hours) and they haven't communicated what the problem is. Do we, "SCSoccer.com", have to do something to make that happen?

I have used it for several years here at Spring Valley. We use it to present player of the game certificates. WE had a player receive a Max Prep state player of the week award that was mailed to SV for her. It has really helped with year end and career stats.

just PLEASE DO NOT PUT SCRIMMAGES IN AS GAMES.

I added Governor's School For Science and Math to Class A -Region II.

Email me if you need anything else.

When will the regions look right?

In the past I could go in and add games to teams playing in a tournament we were hosting. Can you still do that or do you have to be one of the coaches to put in a game?
If I'm playing in a tournament, should I enter my own games?

I have been working with Alisa Dancer of MaxPreps today regarding the SCHSL Realignment for 2017-18. I have cross-checked the five classifications and 95% are correct. She is going to edit the regions and I will follow-up with her over the weekend. I will work on the SCISA data tomorrow.

So are we not supposed to put in any scrimmages on the MaxPreps team page?

That is correct! No Scrimmages/Jamborees should appear on a team's schedule. Only regular season, tournament, and playoff games should be listed.

Will the rankings that come out each week on MaxPreps be broken down by classification or just still be state?

FYI; rankings are gonna be skewed as there are still so many scrimmages in the Maxprep schedule for February.

I'm cool with it, just an added thought.

Interesting comment! I think most coaches/team managers have made the necessary changes to remove any Scrimmages or Jamborees from their Schedule and post it to their Calendar. From the looks of the data below, it's mainly folks that did not attend the SCHSSCA Business Meeting last Friday in Columbia or perhaps don't read the SCHSSCA Message Board very often.

BOYS
2/11 - Wando/Irmo
2/14 - North Augusta/Batesburg-Leesville
2/21 - Thomas Sumter/Northwood, Lake City/Manning

GIRLS
2/7 - Swansea/White Knoll
2/8 - Hartsville/GSS&M, Aiken/Gilbert
2/9 - Lakewood/Wilson
2/11 - TBA/Gilbert
2/13 - Swansea/Ridge View
2/15 - Swansea/Broome
2/17 - Gilbert/Richland Northeast
2/20 - Gilbert/River Bluff

If your team is listed below, please inform the coach/team manager to remove these games from your schedule. Otherwise, those scrimmages will be counted on your season's record. No Scrimmages or Jamboree matches should be listed on your team's schedule. Please post those to your team's calendar.

BOYS

2/6
Cheraw/South Florence

2/7

2/17 WA vs Cane Bay is a Tournament game, Rock hill vs Hanahan is also a tournament game. Those game are part of the Charleston Cup hosted by WA and AMHS

Question in the past we could see the scrimmage games on the calendar, is there a way to see who is scrimmaging?

No, and that is something we are addressing with MaxPreps. I think that is a good feature as well - if for nothing else to have your entire "schedule" in the same spot. I don't think it would be difficult to designate matches that do not count toward a team's record such as Scrimmages and Jamborees. We will keep you posted but in the meantime if you want to list those preseason matches in this thread feel free to do so.

Tried to delete the Pendleton v Southside scrimmage on 2/7, but said it was locked and could not edit/delete. How do I get it off the schedule?

FYI about (17) 5A girls teams have put in scrimmage results.

Rankings are up and skewed, unless we are to all put in scrimmages.

I'm cool with it either way, just an added thought.

When you log into max preps and get to the South Carolina page, is there a button that makes it so you see girls teams? When I click on teams or schedules, it's boys teams. Am I missing something?

Nope. Have to do the added step.

I don't even know how to get to that step without clicking on my name when I'm logged in and clicking on my team. Seems like they should have a button on the South Carolina page that says "Boys/Girls".

MaxPreps Girls

That would help. Their userface is the issue. Other than that you have to save the max peeps girls as a book mark.

Is there any way to see Region tables on the MaxPreps site?

Yes! Go to your team's home page at MaxPreps and select 'Standings' and scroll to your Region.

For Example:
AAAA Region I Standings

4-0, Daniel
3-1, Greenville
2-3, Belton-Honea Path
1-3, Wren
1-4, Pickens

Thanks!!
