Like many of you I look for as much information as I can find about the respective schools that I cover (Tipton, North Cedar, Durant and Wilton). Whether it is in a newspaper or on the Internet, news is news. With that, I thought that I would make you, the reader, aware of a new outlet for Cedar Valley Conference news.
The Cedar Valley Conference has recently launched a new website. The web address for the site is: http://www.cedarvalleyconference.org
Tipton athletic director Tom Gruenwald said that the idea behind the site is to be more efficient.
“This is a great site for everyone that has an interest in our conference. It will have scheduling information for the whole conference and much more,” said Tipton athletic director Tom Gruenwald.
According to Gruenwald 10-percent of the site is live right now, but that is more than enough for users to get something out of a visit to the site.
The site came about as the CVC athletic directors and principals were looking for a way to be more efficient and get the conference brand name out to the public more.
The site has pages for each school and a conference wide calendar for athletic and fine arts programs. There are also pages for By Laws, Championship History and a tally for the All Sports Trophy.
Wilton athletic director and conference secretary Lance Pedersen said that the conference athletic director’s would update the site.
“We (AD’s) and a few others at each school will be responsible for inputting the information on the site. We will be getting spring schedules up in the next month or so and then baseball and softball schedules will be up in the coming months,” he said.
Pedersen also said that a feature that will help the athletic directors is that administration duties like contracts and master schedules for every activity will be used with this site.
“From my job perspective, this will make things a lot easier. Instead of mailing out contracts, we can electronically send them and that will save a lot of time. Also, if there is a change in anything like practice time, game time, etc. you can get an instant e-mail about it. That will be nice,” he said.
Both Gruenwald and Pedersen said that the site is live, but still being updated. They both encouraged those curious about the site to visit it and see what it has to offer.
“What is up now is just a scratch of the surface. There will be a lot of features that will be up as time goes on and fans, parents and administrators of the conference will be impressed with what it is going to have to offer,” said Gruenwald.
Tipton will use the team of Michele Gipson, Chris Habben and Gruenwald will input the information on the website.
Sorry Wrestling Fans!
Due to a fax not coming from Winterset High School and complicated results sent from the Northeast Goose Lake tournament, there will not be wrestling results from Tipton, Durant and North Cedar in this week’s paper. Weather forced the postponement and/or cancellation of all wrestling action on Thursday, thus you will notice an absence of wrestling coverage in this weeks paper. Don’t worry, those stories will be in next week and looking ahead to this week, there will be plenty of wrestling news coming up in the paper next week and through the end of the month.
