This past August, we launched another site, myjournalcouriervarsity.com. This is a Web site entirely devoted to prep sports in our area.

Nowhere ever before in our area has there been one place on the Web where all the sports fans in our area (and you all are nuts about prep sports) can get all of the action. A ton of credit goes to Dennis Mathes, the sports editor for the JJ-C and all his reporters, Brian Webster, Matt Wing, Tanya Hoots and the many stringers and coaches that help us get all this information onto the site.

I can tell you all, when you go from only getting a few stats that you know are the only things you can fit into the paper to asking for, recording and inputing every stat you can get your hands on, it was a huge feat! The entire sports staff worked many sleepless nights getting this info into the system for you all to enjoy.

We went from 14,000 page views and 826 unique monthly visitors to over 106,000 page views and 5,500 unique monthly visitors in just two months. That is phenomenal and I can’t tell you how excited our sports staff was at the acceptance of their hard work.
