Basketball score/stat sheets

[JackReacher]

I've been freelancing high school football for the past few years, and I really enjoy it, so I'm thinking about expanding into basketball this season. Only it's been more than a decade since I've covered it.

Are there any new or improved scoring/stat sheets you guys use? I always created my own back in the day, and I can do that again, but I wanted to check here first.

God, keeping track of basketball stats were a gianormous pain in my ass. I assume that's still the case.

Thanks in advance.

What I have done for a couple of years now is keeping track of each possession in both boys and girls basketball. Where I cover basketball, the coaches send out the score sheets on how many players scored, so I never found the need to do what they can do for me. Instead, I keep track of how each possession went (writing 3-pointer, bucket, free throws, turnovers, who scored and when in individual boxes per quarter) to help me break down the flow of the game better. To me, if I am a reader, reading about how many rebounds, assists and points a kid got doesn't matter to me, I want to know how the game unfolded.

I plan on doing both. I'll likely use my old method. Worked well enough for a decade. I'm sure it'll work again.

Here's one I created a few years ago (based on a hand-drawn one I inherited from my previous boss). I usually kept a second sheet with a running PXP.
