These days, the decline of local news reporting poses a threat to the United States as it leaves many Americans uninformed and without a voice. These newspapers struggle to publish with less frequency and, in most instances, shut down. The coverage of high school sports has been affected in particular. If it ever is reported on, it typically focuses on marquee sports and varsity teams. This has been to the detriment of many communities, as it has affected the numerous local traditions and economic spirit of towns and regions where high school sports are of primary importance.
Despite diminishing local news coverage, demand for high school sports schedules, scores and content is strong. At the forefront of this landscape is the County Sports Zone (CSZ) Network, a leader in the coverage of high school sports, with a platform that provides fast and reliable information from every game at all levels. It covers approximately 40,000 games annually for over 3,000 teams across nearly 300 schools in all 23 Maryland counties, with plans to expand nationally.
