Attention Coaches: Did you forget your prospectus?
First of all, a hardy thank you to the coaches to took time to fill our our annual high school football prospectus. Your attention to this detail helps a ton and endears your program to me and the rest of the Connecticut Post staff.
Now, to the delinquents:
Despite sending them out at the beginning of August through regular and electronic mail, and as much as we hope and pray, we still have a considerable amount missing from our 50 coverage area schools
Here's the list of teams who have not sent out prospectuses as of Sunday night (the deadline was Friday so I had time to write the capsules for Friday's preview).
FCIAC (8): Bassick, Darien, Harding, Greenwich, Norwalk, McMahon, New Canaan, Stamford, Wilton. (This upsets me that nearly half of the FCIAC is unaccounted for).
SWC (3): Immaculate, New Milford, Stratford, Weston.
SCC (1): West Haven.
NVL: Naugatuck.
CTC: none.
If your name is on the list, please email me at sbowley@ctpost.com to get a prospectus sent or call the office at (203) 330-6210. If you are a parent, player, athletic director, principal, superintendent, priest or bishop, and your school is on the list, please alert your head coach.
For the most part, the prospectuses are a tremendous tool for us as we prepare to cover the high school football season. Not only does it save time (I used to call all 50 coaches individually), but it gives me a handy reference point on a coach's contact information, the spelling of names, the heights and weights of players, and interesting stories. If coaches don't send them back, it makes both of our jobs harder and suggests that you don't care enough to make me care about your team.
I also got a few incomplete prospectuses, i.e. no heights and weights, no team description, no outlook. So remember to fill all those vital statistics out, too.
Here's hoping this doesn't translated over to MaxPreps stats, too.
