Real-time stats
from CHS football
Chronicle, Bulldogs team up to
give fans live coverage online
Full disclosure: Noel Nash
is a co-founder and partner in
the Scorebook Live company.
BY NOEL NASH
Publisher
About six years ago, two men
at ESPN had a vision to serve
high school sports fans in much
the same way the company was
delivering the most comprehen-
sive sports data to college and
pro sports fans.
Ultimately, ESPN decided
to go in another direction, but
Dan Beach – an entrepreneur
hired by the global sports giant
about a decade ago to help them
figure out the mobile phone
business – decided to press on
with his vision.
After leaving ESPN,
Beach moved to Spokane,
Washington, to be closer to his
son, who plays on Mark Few’s
Gonzaga basketball team.
Beach also founded
Scorebook Live, one of the easi-
est data-entry apps in existence.
And the small company with a
big vision was off and running
in Spokane.
Scorebook Live found
an active audience in the
world of high school sports,
quickly gaining a foothold in
Washington. The Spokane
Spokesman-Review partnered
with the company and created
nwpreps.com, a brand specifi-
cally for high school sports in
that part of the state.
Now, a little more than six
years later, Scorebook Live is
the official data provider for
the state of California and has
deep ties with high schools
and their state organizations
in Oregon and Washington.
A Fort Myers, Florida, radio
station has published live data
on its website for the past two
years. The area is home to
powerhouse football programs.
One of the features of the app
is that it collects (and distrib-
utes) all of the data in real
time, and coaches don’t need
to phone in scores and stats to
local media. It’s all right there,
immediately after the game. In
fact, Scorebook Live even uses
artificial intelligence to gener-
ate a short game story immedi-
ately after the game ends.
The business model for the
company features a free app.
It’s free for everyone – anyone
can download the app, register
as the “agent” for that school
and begin delivering live data.
Fans also will access the data
at no charge. Simply launching
a web browser anywhere in the
world will allow someone to
follow CHS Bulldogs football,
play-by-play, in real time, start-
ing with the Fall 2019 season.
Scorebook Live also offers
basketball coverage, and The
Chronicle’s plans call for the
CHS boys’ and girls’ basket-
ball teams to also use the app
during the Winter 2019-20
season, with other teams added
in the future. Current develop-
ment includes adding the abil-
ity to deliver real-time scoring
for any sporting event.
