Barron Collier Tops 40,000 Mark with MaxPreps Widget

It was apparent from the start that the all-sports widget installed on the Barron Collier High home page in Naples, Fla., was going to be a hit.

No one, however, expected it to hit a home run.

After the PIAA District 6 football site jumped to the runaway lead in widget page views parade at the outset – quickly topping 30,000 –
Collier’s widget has not only overtaken the PIAA, it has become the first to surpass the 40,000 mark.

Scott A. Stahl, a media specialist at Barron Collier and the creator of the school’s widget, said he isn’t sure why the product is so popular.

But he knows one thing.

“It gets a lot of exposure,” he said. “I have the widget on the front page of our school website. That page is the default home page for all computers in the school.”
