Sports technology is a growing category. It is a fairly complex business, less in terms of the technology and more in terms of the many ways in which people approach the market. At least at the high school level, it is complicated by the different attitudes that the state associations have towards collecting this information, by the energy of coaches for reporting their results and managing the process, and by the looming presence of national services that cover the college and professional ranks, including stats, inc. And statscrew. There are also different perspectives that local media outlets have toward the subject of local sports, and they all have different interests in terms of coverage.
