"Scholastic Sport Net is a terrific tool for coaches to promote their
players and their sport. High school amateur athletics is finally
receiving the recognition and exposure they deserve."

WOW! I just watched the game video on my lunch break. Thank you very much
for the coverage of my son Vincent!!!!!! He will be very pleased with
this. Thank you! He was covered so well. It brings tears to my
eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot express how much you have been a
necessary tool in Vincent's process in the pursuit of getting the
professional exposure required from college football coaches. You've done
a great job for all of the boys, I know Derrick is looking for a
scholarship as well and this should help him as well. I can't express how
much you have done for us. I hope you will always be around for other
athlete students because you have been our biggest asset.

"SSN has added an incredible amount of excitement to Howard County Sports.
The Players, Parents, Grandparents and fans can't wait until the "Game of
the Week" is broadcast on the website. We have family in Italy that
enjoyed watching Mike play football and basketball on SSN. I also think
that it is a great way for a college recruit to view a prospect without
having to wait for film to be sent to them. Brian Bassett does his
homework and really gets to know the players of Howard County and the
players and coaches appreciate that."

"There's a new player on the high school sports scene. Scholastic Sports
Net is now covering Howard County over the Internet. Can this new Web site
make a go of it? I personally like the idea and hope that the Web site
lives up to its hype."

"Brian has done a nice job identifying a medium that hasn't been fully
explored in this area. The video pieces he does are very well done and
professional looking. He came out and did a nice piece on our team during
the pre-season this past fall. He made our student-athletes feel
comfortable when talking to them and edited the piece to show them in the
most favorable light possible. Later in the season he came to our
volleyball match against River Hill. The match was shot and edited well
enough that it was used by our student-athletes to send to college coaches
for recruiting purposes.
I believe I can speak to the quality of Brian's work with some expertise,
as I was fortunate enough to work with ESPN during my time as the
assistant coach for the U.S. Disabled Standing National Team from
1998-2000. Brian's production work, both in quality and content, was just
as good (if not better) than the piece ESPN did on our National Team. I
highly recommend Scholastic Sports Net for players, coaches, parents and
fans!"

"Scholastic Sports Net is a positive way for student athletes to raise the
level of their game. Athletes continually gauge the level of their game
through an in-house "Film Room." Fortunately Scholastic Sports Net helps
high school athletes compare themselves and assess their game from a third
person view as professionals do."

"New York Times reporter Bill Pennington wrote an article on January 29,
2006, entitled, 'The Athlete's Edge: College Hopefuls Reach Out to
Recruiting Services'. In the article, Bill quotes a sports expert saying
that they envision a day when recruiting will allow a college football
coach in Ohio to watch a prospect's Friday night game in Georgia via the
internet, cell phone or iPods. Technology is changing everything.
Coaches will be able to watch eight prospects play live in one night. And
they would never have to leave their office. Thanks to Scholastic Sports
Net, that day is here!"

"I have former student-athletes going to college and into a professional
environment all over the country. Scholastic Sports Net allows them to
stay connected to their high school athletic programs by actually watching
games from anywhere in the world! Personally, I know for a fact that my
brother watches games online in Florida a couple times a year to keep up
with the Vikings."

I had a chance yesterday to watch the SSN broadcast of the 3A football
championship game in its entirety. I must say what a professional job you
all do and what a great promotion of high school football. I applaud the
entire SSN organization for your efforts.
