About the NHSCA Sports Network

In 2000, the NHSCA Sports Network began as a website for the Boyertown (PA) High School wrestling team ... BASHwrestling.com. Within a few years, it expanded to cover wrestling at all levels within the Boyertown School District. The site quickly became one of the most popular high school wrestling team websites in Pennsylvania. The most popular feature of the site was the live coverage of various wrestling tournaments, including the PA State Championships.

With the popularity of the site increasing, a website for Boyertown’s league (PAC-10 or Pioneer Athletic Conference ) was created in time for the 2002-03 season, using the domain PAC10wrestling.net. While this new site was only for the PAC-10, the site was designed to handle other leagues and teams as well. This would eventually become a nationwide network of sites called the NHSCA Sports Network, in conjunction with the National High School Coaches Association.

In 2004, the initial hobby websites were turned into a business. For the first two years, NHSCA Sports Network operated as a sole proprietorship. During the 2005-06 scholastic season, a concerted effort was made to expand usage of the site in football and baseball to go along with the already popular wrestling sites. In January 2007, with football and baseball sites becoming as popular as the wrestling sites, the NHSCA Sports Network became a Limited Liability Company.

In December 2007, the entire NHSCA Sports Network website was completely redesigned with a new look and additional features. Among these new features was the ability to have “state region” websites to go along with team and league sites. (Pennsylvania high schools are split into Districts, so these state region sites will group together teams covering many leagues.)

In the future, the NHSCA Sports Network’s goal will be to continually expand further by adding new sports and site features.
