After a much needed break we're back and looking forward to the start of the fall sports season. We have spent much of our time doing research and working behind the scenes on the site. However, we were able to make our way to Saint Mark's beautiful campus and take in some of the Spartan's New Castle County Summer League 7v7 football contests. We will be starting our coverage of the upcoming season shortly, in the meantime we have posted a gallery from the Summer League games that you can see here - Link
With the football season concluding we thought we would post an update offering some insight on what you can expect to see going forward. Last year the website wasn't updated at all during the off season. We made the decision to devote all our time collecting the information needed for the historical aspect of the site. With the foundation from that work already in place we will be more active with posting throughout the year. Here our some of the areas we will be working on: 2017 football wrap up: As has been the case since opening the site four years ago, the transition from fall to winter left us with little time to devote to the site. As a result we were unable to complete coverage for the final games of the season. Recaps for these games will be added, as will any other material we have for contests, but were unable to post at the time. All-time lists: The work in this area will be an ongoing process. In some cases the information has already been collected, while in others, much research is still needed. They will be posted when completed or when all available resources have been exhausted. Some like the 'All-time Captains' listing will be introduced as a 'project page', where we will be seeking help from the Spartan community to complete. Sections for the other Spartan athletic teams: While the websites primary focus is on the football program, pages devoted to the other sports teams have been in the plans since the beginning. While their content will not be as extensive as that of the football program, and will vary by sport, we wanted a place on the site to honor (and cover) the other teams. We will be starting with the winter sports teams, followed by the spring and fall. At the moment we don't have a set timetable for what we will post, or when. The immediate priority is to get back to the research needed to complete the historical aspect of the site. And while this will remain an ongoing process for some time to come, we plan on keeping the site fresh with new information on both past and present teams going forward. When we add a new feature or section there will be a notice on the homepage. It was a busy year getting the site to where it is now. And after taking a brief break following the season we are excited to get back to work. On The Hill |
