Bill Kennedy, Athletic Director, Forest Hills Central High Schoolhttp://fhcrangers.com →I just thought you should be aware of what is up on our site right now. We have 6 different sports represented in our 7 most recent postings. This is what you have created and I believe that each athlete can look back at their digital shoebox with pride. Thanks again for getting us involved in this and giving a forum for the under-covered athlete.

Scott Robertson, Athletic Director, East Grand Rapids High Schoolhttp://eastgrsports.com →Apart from some small sport-specific sites that came and went over the years, we didn’t do any real sports information. We didn’t think we had the resources to do it, but working with VNN brought all the pieces together. The VNN software was really simple to learn. Once the first couple volunteers got on board, word spread and the recruiting process became much easier. We have parents writing stories about a number of our sports now, all coordinated on the same platform.
