MaxPreps Widget Helps Promote PSAL Basketball

By way of its new affiliate relationship with the venerable New York State Sportswriters Association, MaxPreps will be working this winter to help promote PSAL basketball, the New York City-based association that annually produces some of the top teams in the nation.

The NYSSWA web site, published and edited by Rochester-area media giant John Moriello, will deploy a MaxPreps data widget that will deliver all schedules, results and statistics of all teams in the PSAL to its pages. Today’s launch began with PSAL AA boys teams. More City teams are to follow, as are other teams and conferences from around the state of New York.

Check out the NYSSWA’s initial widget launch here:

MaxPreps.com is also pleased to announced that it will again be featuring a weekly PSAL basketball column this winter, written by its talented columnist/photographer Danny Wild, who by day is writer, editorial producer and photographer for MLB.com.

MaxPreps Data Widget Has Arrived

November 25, 2008

Dear Web Content Manager:

The MaxPreps.com data widget is now available and ready for immediate deployment.

Enjoy the same great content syndication service that major newspapers and television stations across the country have been receiving for years from MaxPreps, America’s Source for High School Sports.

The widget allows sites such as yours to receive all MaxPreps schedules, results, standings, leaderboards, rankings and player statistical data for your favorite schools and coverage-area teams. This is not a link, bur rather an imbedded and robust content-generating module.

The widget is easy to install and can be functioning on behalf of your company or organization within minutes. It may be customized to draw data from one school or up to 150 schools. The choice is yours and it’s free.

Simply select the sport (s) and the team (s) you wish to receive data for, generate the corresponding .html code and upload the coding on the designated page; MaxPreps’ data will begin working instantly on behalf of you, your web site, your school (s) and your entire sports community.

Sincerely,

Jim
