Prep football help

Doesn't sound like you guys leave yourselves much time to also take photos. Now that is fun, running the sideline with a camera and notebook, doing play by play and taking pictures.

 

Legal pad on a clipboard for the play-by-play. Draw a line down the middle on a few sheets, presto. I have a fantastic (though I bet its generic) stat sheet that I use to keep stats taped to the back of the clipboard. So I spend my Friday nights flipping that board incessantly, but it works.

I'll be more than happy to fax a copy of the sheet I use to those who might want it. Just PM me a number.

 

Do the stats on a separate sheet from the play-by-play
Tally the team stats (fumbles, first downs, etc.) across top of the page. Split in half or on opposite sides of paper for each team. Add penalties as you go, cross out previous total, at end is total yds, count slashes for number, List each punt, add-divide at end

Fum/Lost: II/I (2/1) TEAM Pen:5 20 (2x20)
Punts:35, 42, 14 NAME 1stD: IIII I (6)

Make sections on paper for rushing, passing and receiving underneath team stats
Add the rushes and receiving yds. as you go, slash through previous total. At the end is total yds, count carries/catches and you're done with each;
No. 21 gains for 3 yds, 12 yds, 23 yds for a TD.
No. 14 gains for 5 yds, (-2 yds), 10 yds; End of game, put total at far right

RUSHING or RECEIVING
21: 3 15 38 (circle) 3x38 TD
14: 5 3 13 3x13

Passing
Tally Com-Att-Int (Leave much more room than in this example)
Keep the pass yds twice (Receivers and QBs) if more than one passer per team (Only passer with fewer throws, subtract from total)
QB No. 7: 7-10-2 120yds
Completions of 7 yds, 13yds, 52yds, 25yds, 7yds, 1yd, 15yds

7: IIII II/ IIII IIII/ II
7 20 72 97 104 105 120


Use the play-by-play . . .
12:00-Team Name
1s10 20< 21 right gd 3y
2n7 23< 81 pass (from) 7 7y 1st D
1s10 30< 21 sweep right 12y 1st D Ran over #56 to gain first down
1s10 42< 7 inc #9 dropped ball at 25>, open field to TD

. . . To recall yards and details from specific plays.

On back of stat sheet or first page of play-by-play legal pad, keep score by quarters and scoring summary

 

No, but only because I don't type the stats into the computer. I print off the sheets and keep stats by hand, but I keep my individual stats as a running total rather than adding them up at the end.
