The first thing that caught my attention on the homepage was the slide show of photos from the sporting events paired with a quick highlight of the game and a “read more” link that will take you to the full story. The stories are written well in my opinion. You get all the exciting and most interesting parts of the game in the first paragraphs, which is how sports articles should be written.
Next I noticed their streaming schedule which is really neat and easy to follow. I happened to check the website as a live stream of a woman’s soccer game was going on and the quality was much better than I would have expected.
The last thing on the homepage that obviously catches your eye is all the Vermont
When you’re done with the homepage and you want to look further into the website they have drop down boxes at the top of the page that are really good for narrowing down your search. You can go to a specific sport, high school, or college. They also have archives of old games they streamed. You can click from a list of games or you can search for a specific one. You can also shop their online store for DVDs.
There is another box you can click on that says blogs/columns where you will find just that, blogs. The writing in blogs can be more opinionated and I find that entertaining. It gets you thinking about your own opinions.
All in all there really isn’t much I’d change about this site. It really fulfills the task it sets out to do which is provide the public with local, regional, and national sports coverage.
